Edit Question
Title
Body
As per the title, I'm trying to find a way to programmatically determine the longest portion of similarity between several strings. Example: file:///home/gms8994/Music/t.A.T.u./ file:///home/gms8994/Music/nina%20sky/ file:///home/gms8994/Music/A%20Perfect%20Circle/ Ideally, I'd get back file:///home/gms8994/Music/ , because that's the longest portion that's common for all 3 strings. Specifically, I'm looking for a Perl solution, but a solution in any language (or even pseudo-language) would suffice. From the comments: yes, only at the beginning; but there is the possibility of having some other entry in the list, which would be ignored for this question.
