Default Compare two columns with different codes

Dear all
I have two columns with codes.
The first column include the main coding (ie: ab1, ab101, ab10101,...)
The second column include the same codes, but the first leter is always C.
So the coding is (ie: cab1, cab101, cab10101,...)
I have notice that some of the codes in the second column are missing.
There is any way that i can make a check regarding the second column based
the first one. I tried to use the vlookup but the problem is that the first
letter is c and basically the two codes looks different.
Can anyone direct me of how i can make the comparison between the two columns?

Thanks in advance
