I'd like to try and find all the substring matches of two arrays
This is a contrived example of a larger problem
fullNames =: ('Joe B';'Joe Q';'Bobby Z';'Janet F')
shortNames =: ('Joe';'Bob';'Jane')
> fullNames
Joe B
Joe Q
Bobby Z
Janet F
> shortNames
Joe
Bob
Jane
I'd like a result of something like:
0
0
1
2
Indicating that Joe B matched Joe, Joe Q matched Joe, Bobby Z matched Bob
and Janet matched Jane
I struggled with E. for awhile seeing if I could get it to work
(,: > 0{ shortNames) E. (> fullNames)
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
But I couldn't figure out how to build upon this for all shortNames
Thanks,
Joe
