How to count number of a changes on string with javascript

Question

I am trying to count number of a changes on one field ( one string ) with javascript. For example on name= MARTIN : MARTI => 1 change MARTINE => 1 change MATRIN => 2 changes MARBOM => 3 changes

Considering the example name : he is 'MARBOM' not 'MARBON' so the changes are 3 :) — Pavel Kenarov, May 29 '13 at 08:23
