Hi, have You tried this?
Something like:
Code:
while read name;do grep "$name" file2;done < file1
And You could do something like:
Code:
while read name;do echo $name:;grep "$name" file2;done < file1
Or some other action based on return value of grep?
Code:
while read name;do ;grep -q "$name" file2 && echo $name found in file2;done < file1
And it would help if You could show the source of the file, if this doesn't work. Have You considered sorting the files and using diff?
Best regards
