I have two files (right now they are spreadsheets but I can export them to any 
format). 

File1 has StoreID (unique) in one column and a pdf map location in the second 
column. (Names not really sequenced numerically)

1     C:/maps/map1.pdf
2     C:/maps/map2.pdf
3     C:/maps/map3.pdf
4     C:/maps/map4.pdf

File2 has 3 columns. Column1 is the County name (unique), Column2 are the store 
IDs that fall in that county separated by commas, and Column3 is warehouse that 
services the store.

County1    1,2    Warehouse1
County2    1,3    Warehouse1
County3    3      Warehouse4
County4    2,4    Warehouse3

Is it possible to compare both files and append the maps that belong in each 
county and naming it by the county_warehouse.pdf?

Output would be something like this:

C:\maps\final\County1_Warehouse1.pdf (pdf file is map1.pdf and map2.pdf)
C:\maps\final\County2_Warehouse1.pdf (pdf file is map1.pdf and map3.pdf)
C:\maps\final\County3_Warehouse4.pdf (pdf file is map3.pdf)
C:\maps\final\County4_Warehouse1.pdf (pdf file is map2.pdf and map4.pdf)

I could spend some time reorganizing the second file to look like this if it 
makes it easier:

County1    1    Warehouse1
County1    2    Warehouse1
County2    1    Warehouse1
County2    3    Warehouse1
County3    3    Warehouse4
County4    2    Warehouse3
County4    4    Warehouse3

Ideas as to how to accomplish this?
