I have two large arrays of strings array1 with 180000 names and array2 with 24000 names ,I want to find the common names in both of them.
My arrays are for example Array1 Array2 GAP4 HIST1B-histamine.... MFG12 SNRPD-signal induced... CFH1A RNF-ribose nucleic... My array 2 ,has description of the abbreviation ,how can I remove the description part before using intersect command to match common names in array1 and array2. the description and abbreviation are separated by a hyphen --. I tried using matlab ,but due to the large file size it didnot work. Can you suggest me something to overcome this problem. Thank You rk 5, 50, 500, 5000 - Store N number of mails in your inbox.
