Hi am very new to awk & unix, my requirement is very similar to this..

I want to compare by first column,

file1:
0000-00058|Green
0000-00059|Green
0000-00060|Green
0402-01055|Green
0402-01058|Green
0402-01059|Green
0402-01061|Green

file2:
0000-00057|Red
0000-00058|Blue
0000-00059|Red

0402-01055|Green
