I have two files with company names. The company names in each file have been entered over the past year by numerous staff employees. Sometimes, the names entered are not consistent. For example, one person might type "Calhoun Apts" in one file and then one person might type "Calhoun Apartments" in the other file. Therefore, they are not a one to one match.
I want to only match the first 7 or so characters between each file. How do I do this?
