so, now that i've made a few changes, i think you could do this by keeping a running total of the hunk sizes and then comparing it to the number of lines in either the original or the revision. however, i'm not really sure what would be an appropriate heuristic. perhaps showing both $total_deletions / $original_lines and $total_additions / $revision_lines.

you could also use LCS instead of diff and compare the size of the LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) to the size of the original or revised token list. this would allow you to say roughly "Revision is 80% similar to original" if @LCS / @original == 0.8.

i have updated my old post to include this heuristic.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
