Finding a match between subfields of two strings

Is there an expression that can find matches between substrings of two fields that both have comma delimitted substrings?

Field_1 = 'USA', 'Italy', 'Japan'

Field_2 = 'Jamaica', 'Italy', 'Australia', 'Korea', 'China', 'Chile', 'Mexico'

Is there an expression I can use in a text object or a chart, to tell that Field1 and Field 2 do have a match  WITHOUT using the load script?

In the example above, both fields have 'Italy'. The expression would help to determine that both Field_1 and Field_2 contain 'Italy'.

Ideally, you should use subfield function during LOAD to generate one full record of input data for each substring. Once done, you can easily compare the vaules from different fields.

Thanks.

Use the InterRecord function lookup...
