I want to compare a two word name in a text field to another two 
word name in another text field.  If they match, delete the name
in the second field. 

What's a general way to do this?  Find only picks up the first
word, and I don't want to delete Smith, Joan if Smith John happens
to show up.

Also, is there a way to send something (like substitute text) to
the result from a find command?
