Comparing data with numbers and text

Hello everyone,
I have files that have both text and numbers. See below. I am trying to determine which rows match for columns 2 and 3. For instance, FILE1 (1 5012 X) would match FILE2 (7 5012 X). The corresponding indices would be i_FILE1 = 1 and i_FILE2 = 7. I tried using the function intersect, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any way to do this? Note that I load in the data as cell arrays. If there is a better way, then let me know. Thanks.
FILE1
1 5012 X
2 5012 Y
3 5012 Z
4 5012 RX
5 5012 RY
6 5012 RZ
7 5013 X
8 5013 Y
9 5013 Z
10 5013 RX
11 5013 RY
12 5013 RZ
13 5021 X
14 5021 Y
15 5021 Z
16 5021 RX
17 5021 RY
18 5021 RZ
FILE2
1 9800 X
2 9800 Y
3 9800 Z
4 9800 RX
5 9800 RY
6 9800 RZ
7 5012 X
8 5012 Y
9 5012 Z
10 5012 RX
11 5012 RY
12 5012 RZ
13 5013 X
14 5013 Y
15 5013 Z
16 5013 RX
17 5013 RY
18 5013 RZ
19 5021 X
20 5021 Y
21 5021 Z
22 5021 RX
23 5021 RY
24 5021 RZ
Best regards,

currently, I am copying the date from the file and pasting into the Workspace. It generates a cell array with size of N by 3 where columns 1 and 2 are numbers and column 3 is text.

One possibility:
F1 = {
'5012_X'
'5012_Y'
'5012_Z'
'5012_RX'
'5012_RY'
'5012_RZ'
'5013_X'
'5013_Y'
'5013_Z'
'5013_RX'
'5013_RY'
'5013_RZ'
'5021_X'
'5021_Y'
'5021_Z'
'5021_RX'
'5021_RY'
'5021_RZ'};
F2 = {
'9800_X'
'9800_Y'
'9800_Z'
'9800_RX'
'9800_RY'
'9800_RZ'
'5012_X'
'5012_Y'
'5012_Z'
'5012_RX'
'5012_RY'
'5012_RZ'
'5013_X'
'5013_Y'
'5013_Z'
'5013_RX'
'5013_RY'
'5013_RZ'
'5021_X'
'5021_Y'
'5021_Z'
'5021_RX'
'5021_RY'
'5021_RZ' };
[C,ia,ib] = intersect( F1, F2 );

This might work. I assume that I should combine the 2 columns together. I need to do this using code since there are 1000s of rows to compare.
Looks like I would convert the number into a string. Then, I would combine them together. See below for the code. If I use this technique, it appears that I will have to loop over each row to combine it together into a cell array. If there is a better way, please let me know.
F1 = {[num2str(FILE1{1,2}),'_',strtrim(FILE1{1,3})]};

I prefer to use sprintf:
F1 = cell( N, 1 );
for ii = 1 : N
F1{ii} = sprintf( '%u_%s', FILE1{ii,2}, FILE1{ii,3} );
end
