specify the percentage of matching

[SehamAAlharbi]

Hello,

I am currently using JPlag API to find the similarity among a large set of java files. I was wondering whether there is a way of limiting certain matches with e.g., 100% or 0% of matching from the generated report? and matching files?

Thanks in advance.

For a lower bound, you can use the following CLI argument:

 -m M                   Comparison similarity threshold [0.0-1.0]:  All  comparisons  above this threshold will
                         be saved (default: 0.0)

For example, -m 0.5 will filter all submissions with a similarity of 50% or less. We currently do not have a mechanism to filter submissions when their similarity is above a certain threshold.

You can also enforce some restrictions on certain files before the comparison:

• The argument -s name limits the comparison to only the files residing in the "name" folder of each submission.
• The argument -x path allows specifying a text file that contains file names to ignore.
