Power Comparing the common columns of a table in two files

Hi,

I have two text files.The first and the 2nd file have data in the same format
For e.g. The first file has

BOOKS COUNT: 40
BOOKS AUTHOR1 SUM:1018 MAX:47 MIN:1 AVG:25.45
BOOKS AUTHOR3 SUM:181 MAX:48 MIN:3 AVG:18.1

Note:Read it as Table columnname sum(column) max(column) min(column)

File2 contains

BOOKS COUNT: 40
BOOKS AUTHOR1 SUM:1018 MAX:45 MIN:2 AVG:23.55
BOOKS AUTHOR2 SUM:561 MAX:49 MIN:1 AVG:21.5769231
BOOKS AUTHOR3 SUM:181 MAX:48 MIN:3 AVG:18.1


The file 2 contains the additional column named AUTHOR2.

Comparison should be such that the column AUTHOR1 in file 1 is compared with the column AUTHOR1 in file 2.

Here The values of column AUTHOR1 in the table BOOKS mismatches with the other file.

I should write a script to compare the columns of the table as said and report the mismatches to a different file and also report the additioanl columns present in the 2nd file.

The output should be in this format.

Column AUTHOR1 in the tabloe BOOKS mismatches.
BOOKS AUTHOR1 SUM:1018 MAX:47 MIN:1 AVG:25.45
BOOKS AUTHOR1 SUM:1018 MAX:45 MIN:2 AVG:23.55

Column AUTHOR2 is additional.


I am new to unix.Please help me in writing a script to do this job.

Thanks

NAME
Alzabo::SQLMaker::PostgreSQL - Alzabo SQL making class for PostgreSQL SYNOPSIS
use Alzabo::SQLMaker; my $sql = Alzabo::SQLMaker->new( sql => 'PostgreSQL' ); DESCRIPTION
PostgreSQL-specific SQL creation. METHODS
Almost all of the functionality inherited from "Alzabo::SQLMaker" as is. The only overridden methods are "limit()" and "get_limit()", as PostgreSQL does allow for a "LIMIT" clause in its SQL. EXPORTED SQL FUNCTIONS
SQL may be imported by name or by tags. They take arguments as documented in the PostgreSQL documentation (version 3.23.39). The func- tions (organized by tag) are: :math PI RANDOM ABD CEIL DEGREES FLOOR FACTORIAL SQRT CBRT EXP LN RADIANS ACOS ASIN ATAN ATAN2 COS COT SIN TAN ROUND TRUNC LOG POW MOD TO_CHAR :string LENGTH CHAR_LENGTH CHARACTER_LENGTh OCTET_LENGTH TIRM UPPER LOWER INITCAP ASCII TO_ASCII STRPOS POSITION TO_NUMBER TO_DATE TO_TIMESTAMP REPEAT RPAD LPAD SUBSTR :datetime NOW CURRENT_DATE CURRENT_TIME CURRENT_TIMESTAMP TIMEOFDAY ISFINIT TIMESTAMP TO_CHAR DATE_PART DATE_TRUNC EXTRACT OVERLAPS :network BROADCAST HOST NETMASK MASKLEN NETWORK TEXT ABBREV :aggregate These are functions which operate on an aggregate set of values all at once. COUNT AVG MIN MAX SUM STDDEV VARIANCE :system These are functions which return information about the Postgres server. CURRENT_USER SYSTEM_USER USER :control These are flow control functions: NULLIF COALESCE :misc These are functions which don't fit into any other categories.
