awk base lookup of best match strings

Hi,

I'm new to scripting and unable to find out a way to perform the below task. Request help in finding out a way to accomplish this.

File one consists of some numbers/string which i need to lookup against file 2 and fetch the best match results in output. If best match is not present in file 2 then NA should be populated.

Thanks in advance.

Input File1

Code:
555
555555
5558
5558888
55558
5555877
445
445555
6665
6665555
6665ttt

Input File2

Code:
555,1
5558,2
55558,3
445,a
6665,b

Output
Code:
555,555,1
555555,555,1
5558,5558,2
5558888,5558,2
55558,55558,3
5555877,55558,3

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
