Closest match parameter in text locator keywords

[kalyncoose]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In keywords such as Click Text, Input Text, Verify Text, Drop Down - it would be nice to have a "closest match" parameter for locating elements with text. Labels can be generated or change over time, which is not good to hard-code for in a UI test, so it would be nice to be able to match the text based on similarity, rather than an exact string.

Describe the solution you'd like The keywords mentioned above would have a new parameter such as closest_match=True that will use extra logic to compare the given text with the text found on the page. As an example, suppose there is an existing label on a page: Last/Group Name. Using the closest_match=True parameter would result in the following line working:

Input Text Last Name Doe closest_match=True

It would find that the string Last Name is similar to the label on the screen Last/Group Name. There are more examples I can provide, so reply and let me know if I need to add more.

Additionally, another parameter could be added like closest_match_percent which would alter how a closest match is rated, such as closest_match_percent=0.6 being a 60% match, where 0 is 0% and 1 is 100%.

Describe alternatives you've considered This is something that needs to be extended in the existing keywords, so it is not feasible to add the functionality in another custom keyword.
