shell script help for users

Hello guys, I would appreciate if someone can help me for this task:

I have a large txt file that contains lots of user ids in different format. I need to run this against a database output ldif file and print to a file whether they exist or not. And if they exist then I need to print their information from the ldif file. I appreciate in advance if anyone can assist.

Thanks again
