Hi,
Lets say I have two datasets. One with various objects written in singular form and one with objects written in plural form and singular form mixed and I want to identify and merge those objects. i.e. merging "Car" with "Cars" .
If the strings are exactly the same this would easily be done by the merge command but in this case I'm stuck. Does there exist some way to tell Stata to merge if the two strings are equal except for one letter?
