### Match Strings Tool

The Match Strings Tool allows you to specify the string that must be matched for the tool to pass.

The Match Strings Tool:

- Uses the outputs from the Decode Tool, OCR Tool, String Format Tool, and Verification Tool.

Note: These other tools must execute before Match Strings in the job list.

- Compares the two strings.

- Reports whether the tool passes (i.e. the two strings are the same) and when the tool fails (i.e. when the two strings are different).
