If your second variable is always 3 characters and the first is always at least three characters, then it's not too hard, you could see if a substring of var1 eq var2. Or even the following works for me
Or you could do character by character comparisons. I'm sure in this case there are many ways to do it, though it would get complicated if you wanted to do a compare where $var1 used periods and $var2 used underscores or something.
