Subject: Match a long string in Ruby despite a few typing errors

I'd like to match a string to another=2C and recognize the match even if th=
ere are a few typing errors. These errors could include omission of a lette=
r/space/punctuation mark=2C an extra letter or a mistyped letter. I don't r=
equire it to detect multiple errors in a row=2C or in a single word. The st=
ring would be comparable to the length of this paragraph=2C a little shorte=
r=2C in case that matters

 I could come up with some basic implementation for this=2C but it seems li=
ke a little too much to do for something like this. I was wondering if ther=
e was a simple way to do this=2C a gem perhaps?

Thanks=20
