How can I bulk search and find data with slight differences in different rows? - search

Question

There is something I want to do; but i don't know if it is possible.
I want to know if I can do what I want to do with EmEditor or something else.
You can find an example of what I want below.
Example Picture:
• The data on the left does not have the full name.
• The data on the right are those with the full name.
I present a small video to express what I want clearly.
Please watch the video first and then see the sample files where you can try how to do what I want.
Sample Video
Sample Files
The file on the right contains much more data than the file on the left.
That's why the first thing that comes to mind is; so sorting is useless.
For example, the data in the 1st row of the data on the left; corresponds to row 2 of the data on the right.
So no one has the same row.
That's why sorting doesn't work; and I need to search the left side data one by one inside the right side data and find the full name.
FOR INSTANCE:
On the left: 10-infographic-solutions-part-1
On the right: 10-infographic-solutions-part-1-D5DADA
Instead of searching all of them one by one, I want to automatically find the left-hand data among the right-hand data.
I thought this might be possible with EmEditor; but I don't know how.
If this is possible I would like to know how.
Also, there is one more thing I want to know.
I have something to add to the end of each line; but I can't put a bulk cursor at the end of all of them.
How can I do this with EmEditor?
I hope I was able to express clearly what I wanted.
If there is anything that confuses you, please let me know.

You can use Advanced Filter to find multiple strings combined with Logical Disjunction (OR). To do this:
Open Missing Data.txt with EmEditor, select all (Ctrl+A), and copy all the text to the Clipboard (Ctrl+C).
Open Full Data.txt, and click the Advanced Filter button on the Filter toolbar.
Click in the list box of the Advanced Filter dialog box, and press Ctrl+V to paste the Clipboard contents to the list box.
While all the items in the list box are selected, make sure the Match Case, (None), and Logical Disjunction (OR) options are selected, but no other options are selected.
Click the Filter button.
You didn't write what you want to do after searches, but if you want to remove all the matched lines from Full Data.txt:
Click the Abort button if you are already filtering. Click Bookmark button, and Close to dismiss the dialog box.
Right-click on the left edge of the editor (or select Edit menu - Bookmarks), and select Delete Bookmarked Lines.
As for selecting the end of each line, you can drag Mouse while pressing Alt to make a zero-width vertical selection at right (or press Alt+E, E to make a vertical selection, and press End). See Multiple Selection Editing for more information.
