Compare two text files for similarities

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm working on a project in which I need to compare two text files for similarities.  Kind of like an email content filter would do, but dumbed way down.

 

I know there is a PEAR text_diff package that looks for differences, but I need something like that package that looks for similarities...ideas???

 

Alternatively, can I use the php string function to loop through both files and search for the similarities??

 

 

Thanks.
