Unix File operations

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. It is working fine, but iam having the file 2 as follows:

file 2
Code:
QWERTYUI098765432112345  abc@soft.com                                                                            2007-09-260012275.80 0000924 00245.00 2007-10-25ASDFRESS,POIU                                                 S                                000000000000015.52 000000000000000.00 CBB00010000000906

file 1
Code:
QWERTYUI098765432112345
QWIUYTUI098765432112345
CDXRTYUI098765432112345

While iam pasting from unix box to here, the contents are not in one single line.

The above info in file1 is all in a single line.

Now i want to take the lines one by one in file1 and find if there is matching record in file 2 and if it finds it should replace and most important is it should not disturb the other info in the particular line.( Previous paste command is working but it is disturbing the spaces and it is removing those spaces in file 2.


Please give me the solution.

Thanks in advance.
