Default unmatched data string

I have two strings of data that I compare with a vlookup and then I kick out
the data that doesn't match into two different columns. I am wondering if it
is possible to have the strings of data highlight just the portion of the
string that doesn't match.
For example:
2008JXA800OCT0250 2008JXA800JAN0250

2008JXA850OCT0301 2008JXA850JAN0306

2009JXA900OCT07 2008JXA900JAN07
The 1st string would highlight the OCT and the 2nd string across from it
would highlight the JAN. While the next row the 1st string would highlight
the 1 and the 2nd string across from it would highlight the 6 and in the
third row the 1st string would highlight the 9 (from the 2009) and the 2nd
string across from it would highlight the 8(from the 2008).

Any help is always appreciated. Thanks!
