Extract all the sentences from a text file that matches a pattern list

Hi

I have a big text file. I want to extract all the sentences that matches at least 70% (seventy percent) of the words from each sentence based on a word list called A.

Say the format of the text file is as given below:


Code:
This is the first sentence which consists of fifteen words including AAA, BBB and CCC.
This is the second sentence with twelve consisting of XXX and YYY.
This is the third with nine consisting of KKK.
The last sentence consist of  ZZZ, DDD, FFF, EEE, GGG and HHH.

The output format is based on the availability of all the words from the words list A. If the sentence matches all the words from the word list, then the sentence will be extracted. The condition is that at least seventy percent of the words in the sentence must be matched from the words list A.

Assuming that all the capital letter words such as AAA, BBB, CCC, KKK, XXX, YYY, ZZZ, DDD, FFF, EEE, GGG and HHH are not found in the words list A. After the extraction, the output will look like as given below.


Code:
This is the first sentence which consists of fifteen words including AAA, BBB and CCC.
This is the second sentence with twelve consisting of XXX and YYY.
This is the third with nine consisting of KKK.


I need help to write a script for the above problem. A sample script will be really helpful to me. Thanks in advance. Smilie

NAME
dadadodo - exterminate all rational thought SYNOPSIS
dadadodo [ options ] [ input-files ] DESCRIPTION
dadadodo is a program that analyses texts for Markov chains of word probabilities and then generates random sentences based on those proba- bilities. Sometimes these sentences are nonsense, but sometimes they cut right through to the heart of the matter and reveal hidden mean- ings. OPTIONS
dadadodo accepts the following options: -c, -count n Generate n sentences. -h, -help Show summary of options and exit. -html Output HTML instead of plain text. -l, -load file Load compiled data from file ('-' for standard input). -o, -output file Save compiled data in file ('-' for standard output). -p, -pause s Delay s seconds between paragraphs. -w, -columns columns Format output for a device columns character cells in width. If not specified, the value of the environment variable COLUMNS is used to determine the width. If that variable is not defined, a width of 72 is assumed. NOTES
Non-option arguments are input files. These should be text files, but may be mail folders or HTML. MIME messages are handled sensibly. When no output file is specified, sentences will be generated from the input data directly. However, loading a saved file is far faster than re-parsing the text files each time. ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS Determines the width (in character cells) of the output if the -w, -columns option is not used. If not set, a width of 72 is assumed. SEE ALSO
dadadodo's upstream website is http://www.jwz.org/dadadodo/. AUTHOR
