Reading specific contents from 1 input files and appending it to another input file

Hi guys,

I am new to AWK and unix scripting. Please see below my problem and let me know if anyone you can help.

I have 2 input files (example given below)

Input file 2 is a standard file (it will not change) and we have to get the name (second column after comma) from it and append it in the Input file 1 (see output file below highlighted in blue). The content of first input file Input file 1 will keep changing though.

If we get a match with first number [before first dot (.)] then concatenate the name from second file at the end with a comma (,).

Input file 1
Aug 14 10:37 123.XYZ.106.20061023160210.in
Aug 14 12:59 135.XYZ.107.20061023160210.in
Aug 14 13:15 234.XYZ.108.20061023160210.in

Input file 2
111,ABCD
123,EFGH
124,TYUI
125,RTYUGH
135,RTYT
139,REFG
234,GHJK
345,GHJK
346,JKHG

Output file
Aug 14 10:37 123.XYZ.106.20061023160210.in, EFGH
Aug 14 12:59 135.XYZ.107.20061023160210.in, RTYT
Aug 14 13:15 234.XYZ.108.20061023160210.in, GHJK

Appreciate your responses.

SIZE(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   SIZE(1)

NAME
size - print the size of the sections in an object file SYNOPSIS
size [ option ... ] [ object ... ] DESCRIPTION
Size (without the -m option) prints the (decimal) number of bytes required by the __TEXT, __DATA and __OBJC segments. All other segments are totaled and that size is listed in the `others' column. The final two columns is the sum in decimal and hexadecimal. If no file is specified, a.out is used. The options to size(1) are: - Treat the remaining arguments as name of object files not options to size(1). -m Print the sizes of the Mach-O segments and sections as well as the total sizes of the sections in each segment and the total size of the segments in the file. -l When used with the -m option, also print the addresses and offsets of the sections and segments. -x When used with the -m option, print the values in hexadecimal (with leading 0x's) rather than decimal. -arch arch_type Specifies the architecture, arch_type, of the file for size(1) to operate on when the file is a fat file. (See arch(3) for the cur- rently know arch_types.) The arch_type can be "all" to operate on all architectures in the file. The default is to display only the host architecture, if the file contains it; otherwise, all architectures in the file are shown. SEE ALSO
otool(1) BUGS
The size of common symbols can't be reflected in any of the numbers for relocatable object files. Apple Computer, Inc. May 23, 2002 SIZE(1)
