Hello,
I have finally sorted and synchronised the two files. I have also used Jabberwock's formula (customized) to compare the two columns, to check if I had missed some strings, which proved useful beacuse I really had.

But of course you can do that also with regex - it's just more difficult. ▲ Collapse
