t,info3
w infox
d infoxx
that depends of infox and infoxx cause i have many lines in this file
thanks
- where does the 'infox' comes for 'w' in fileB? There's no corresponding entry in FILEA
- how come there's no ',' field separators for the z,w and d records in FILEB?
- What are the actual values for 'info1', info2 .... infox? Are they numeric, alphanumeric?
- How to determine 'info1 < infoN'?
