soundex

public static java.lang.String soundex(java.lang.String str,
                                       java.lang.String whereIs,
                                       StringAndInt positionInteger)

Get the SoundEx value of a string. This is not the canonical soundex implementation, but my own one (the first letter is coded as well, length is unlimited, figures are coded) The base of this implementation is taken from the code-snippers on http://www.sourceforge.net/

Parameters:

str - The String the soundex should be calculated from

whereIs - The soundex code the position of which should be established

positionInteger - The myInt field contains the position of whereIS

Returns:

The soundex
