Hi Charlie, This post is like long time ago .. but I also have a similar problem for comparision. Let me usse the same example: String1: 0010as10000 String2: 10as1 .. this was solved using rereplace() but what if I actually need something like this.
String1: 10as1 String1: 10as10000121abc or 10as1abc or 10as1121 should be equal or String1: abc201 String1: abc20101 or abc201abc or abc20101dc or abc201dc01 should be equal It means that the string1 charecters should exactly match with String2 but string2 can have equal or more charecters than string1.
