Hi All,
I have a couple of files ( ascii ) with the following data

File 1
#lport1:dc1:lport2:dc2 - All records were delimited by :
6300:ADEF12:6305:ATNE59
3411:EGFE31:3499:GDEF21
. . . .
. . . .
total of 55,000 Records

File 2
#seqno:lport1:id:dlc1:vid:lport2:nni:dc2:ci – All records delimited by :
60568:3411:98:EGFE31:965:3499:3799:GDEF21:432
. . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . .
total of 58,000 Records

I need to Compare lport1, dc1, lport2, dc2 values of file1 with lport1, dc1, lport2, dc2 values of file2 and if there is a match, I need to write the entire line in file2 to another file. I tried writing a Perl script under solaris 2.5.8 which took almost 6 hours to finish.
Could anyone of you help me in getting this task run pretty fast i.e, less than 15 minutes using awk/shell script..
Thanks in Advance.
