Default Duplicate entries

I'm trying to compare to columns to see if they have any of the same entries
but the data is not totally exact in both columns.

For example I have in column A a value of "211000" and in column B I have a
value of "211000-1". How can I have it compare the two and only look at the
first 6 characters of column B? I want to put a "1" in next to the column B
value to show that it exists in column A. Now Column A has 538 entries in it
and Column B has 24 in it. So I want it to search the entire listing in
column A and have it put a "1" next to the value in column B to show that it
does exist in column A. Hope this all makes sense. :)
