Need help in AWK;Search String and rearrange columns
Hi AWK Experts,

file1.txt contains:
29b11b820ddcc:-|OHad.perWrk|spn_id=AH111|spn_ordtyp=MY_REQ|msg_typ=ah.ntf.out|spn_ordid=928176|spn_nid=3|msg_strt=1 175615334703|msg_que=oput|diff=371|17:48:55,074|17:48:55,084|10

file2.txt contains:
29b11b820ddcc:-|spn_id=QA999|spn_ordid=98976098|spn_ordtyp=MY_RES|OHad.perWrk|msg_strt=11756153398760|diff=1571|msg _typ=ah.out.res|msg_que=res_oput|17:48:55,074|17:48:55,084|10


The columns in the input record that match below string must be selected and printed out in the same order as given below.
$1 -> OHad
$2 -> spn_id
$3 -> spn_ordid
$4 -> spn_ordtyp
$5 -> msg_typ
$6 -> spn_nid
$7 -> msg_que
$8 -> diff
$9 -> HH:MI:SS,sss
$10 -> 9999 (i.e., number of any length)

Hence the targetfile.txt must contain:
OHad.perWrk|spn_id=AH111|spn_ordid=928176|spn_ordtyp=MY_REQ|msg_typ=ah.ntf.out|spn_nid=3|msg_que=opu t|diff=371|17:48:55,074|17:48:55,084|1000
OHad.perWrk|spn_id=QA999|spn_ordid=98976098|spn_ordtyp=MY_RES|msg_typ=ah.out.res||msg_que=res_oput|d iff=1571|17:48:55,074|17:48:55,084|990810

Please note that [msg_strt] column is not required and [spn_nid] is required but is missing in file2.txt hence a blank is acceptable.

Could you please help me in getting the concept or a working prototype using AWK or any better tool that runs in shell script.

with best regrads,
Spring-Buck

lzdiff

XZDIFF(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZDIFF(1)

NAME

       xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files

SYNOPSIS

       xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
       lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]

DESCRIPTION

       xzcmp  and  xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1).  All options specified are passed
       directly to cmp or diff.  If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of	a  supported  com-
       pression  format)  and  file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped.  If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
       pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1).  The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.

       The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

SEE ALSO

       cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)

BUGS

       Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
