How to read content from a file and match with another file for operation
Hi,
I have somehow similar case of question like the above with some differences.
Basically I have 2 files, file A and file B.
In file A, I have columns of fields such that:-
aaa 107
bbb 108
ccc 109
In file B, I have columns of fields such that:-
101 2 1
102 3 1
107 2 1
108 3 1
109 2 1
I would like to know, if I would like to extract let say first element of file A and compare with file B elements.
If found, I would like to have the position of element 107 in file B in this case it is on 3rd line. And the same goes for other elements in file A which in the end will pipe to another output file.
Next, I would like to get the $2 and $3 of the 3rd line for some computation.
Currently, I tried to do below:-
#!/bin/sh
for i in a.txt
do
grep -c $i b.txt
cat b.txt| awk '
{
count[$i]=$2+$3;
}
END{
printf("%d",count[$i]);
}'
done
I knew it is not going work well as the second field of A.txt is not extracted.
Please advise. Thanks.
