I am well aware of this and it works fine for the string beginning.
I am looking for any characters in the string.

ex.. dfr SomeCommand =>  different
     dfn SomeCommand =>  different
     drnt SomeCommand => different
     vrb SomeCommand =>  abbreviation
     vxpd SomeCommand => dabbrev-expand
      

Thus the idea is provide multiple reference points for a string and
strings should be from limited scopes.

How difficult is to develop something like this? Any hints would be
useful.

Thanks,
