Thanks for your help, however i am unable to get teh code above to work.
I have had some assistance with the above from anothe forumite who gave me the following code:

#!/bin/ksh
cat file1.csv file2.csv >> temp
grep X temp | cut -d"," -f1 | sort -u > final2
while read line
do
line1=`grep $line file2.csv`
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo $line1 >> final_out
else
line2=`grep $line file1.csv`
echo $line2 >> final_out
fi

done < final2


If anyone could explain in detail as to what is happening in the loop that would be great... i have tested the above and it works like a dream but i want to learn rather than just use code. I am a complet novice so would like a description in a basic level which will help me understand for future.

Thanks to everyone who has helped so far

NAME
vpl2mod - tool to convert verse per line source to SWORD module SYNOPSIS
vpl2mod SOURCE PATH [0|1] [0|1] DESCRIPTION
This utility is used to create SWORD module from the verse per line formated source. The resulting module will be saved in the path specified. OPTIONS
[0|1] [0|1] The first option indicates whether to prepend verse references or not. The second option is to indicate whether module is NT only or not. NOTE
With no verse references source file must contain exactly 31102 lines. This is KJV verse count plus heading for the module, testament, book and chapter. An example snippet follows: MODULE HEADER OLD TESTAMENT HEADER GENESIS HEADER CHAPTER 1 HEADER In the beginning... This example implies there must also be a chapter 2 header, Exodus header, New Testament header, etc. If there is no text for the header, a black line must, at least, hold place. With verse references, source file must simply contain any number of lines, that begin with the verse reference for which it is an entry, e.g.: gen 1:0 CHPATER 1 HEADER get 1:1 In the beginning...
