I have an issue where i need to link certain sample names to eachother, the problem however is that the sample names which i want to match are a little bit different from the keys in a dictionairy i have from which i need to get the correct value. example: sample = "foo_foo.bar.12" matching_dict = {"foo_foo-bar-12" : "foo.bar.12"} I have about 5500 samples, each with a different type of arrangement, so not every sample looks like the example i gave. Ideally i want a dynamic way of comparing the 2 strings with eachother and then get the value from the dict if they are most alike. Thank in advance! Continue reading...
