How to find the meaningless names/texts in the data

[sr13]

Hi,

I am trying to find out meaning less names or texts in the data(each day i am checking millions of records). Let's say i am checking the weird names in the hotel names.I want to find out names that does not make any sense like xsedzfse ,.... I understand there are few packages that we can install in python/R.   Is there a way to find a resolution to the above issue using SAS.

Thanks.

How does one know that a specific value is meaningless? If the logic is clear, the implementation is easy. So, there is likely a way.

Do you have a list of meaningful names and texts?

If so, you could use the spelling distance functions provided by SAS. You could speed things up by restraining the computation of spelling distances to words that are not already in your list of meaningful names and only between words starting with the same letter.
