title: C# comparing similar strings
body: <p>I have a generic with some filenames (LIST1) and another biggeneric with a full list of names (LIST2).
  I need to match names from LIST1 to similar ones in LIST2. For example </p>
  
  <pre><code>LIST1
  - **MAIZE_SLIP_QUANTITY_3_9.1.aif**
  
  LIST 2
  1- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_CLINCH_4.1.aif
  2- **MAIZE_SLIP_QUANTITY_3_5.1.aif**
  3- **MAIZE_SLIP_QUANTITY_3_9.2.aif**
  4- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_CLINCH_5.1.aif
  5- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_CLINCH_6.1.aif
  6- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_CLINCH_7.1.aif
  7- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_CLINCH_8.1.aif
  8- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_CLINCH_9.1.aif
  9- TUTORIAL_FAILURE_PUSH_4.1.aif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Levenshtein distance</a> and used an implementation of it in a Framework (<a href="http://www.signumframework.com/Others.ashx#StringDistance" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SignumFramework Utilities</a>). 
  <strong>It returns me distance=1 in lines 2 and 3. But in my case line 3 is a better match than line 2.</strong> </p>
  
  <p>Is there another method better to compare similar strings? Something more flexible?</p>
