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.

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
