No it didn't work. Let me tell you what is the scenario...

I have 3 input files (example given below)

Input file 2 & 3 are 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 & magenta). 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 start with a comma (,).

If we get a match with first string [after first dot (.)] then concatenate the name from third file at the start with a comma (,).

Input file 1
123.XYZ.106.20061023160210.in
135.XYZ.107.20061023160210.in
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

Input file 3
XYZ,Desc1
VZG,Desc2

Output file
EFGH,Desc1,123.XYZ.106.20061023160210.in
RTYT,Desc1,135.XYZ.107.20061023160210.in
GHJK,Desc1,234.XYZ.108.20061023160210.in

I got the first part as following :-
awk -F",| |\\\." 'NR==FNR{a[$1]=$2;next}
$1 in a{print a[$1] "," $0}
' file2 file1 >> output file

But I am not getting the second part.

Appreciate you response.

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
