Default Comparing slightly differing columns

mHi,

I need to compare two columns of account numbers that come from diferent
sources. One column has the account number correctly displayed, the other has
extra zeros added in front of the origial account number - some numbers have
one zero , some two and some numbers in this column are correct. This means
that I cannot just remove the first couple of numbers without the risk of
damaging the correct numbers.

I would like to be able to compare perhaps the last three or four positions
of both columns and/or be able to crop off zeros at the beginning of the
numbers. How do I do this?
--
Kind regards,

Rochelle
