I am able to run the command properly and the results are coming as expected. One problem i am facing is that there is possibility that files have data which are in different order means 1 st row in file 1 could point to 5th row in file 2.
What does it mean when you say that '1 st row in file 1 could point to 5th row in file 2'?
Is there a common key (a common row cell OR a combination of cells) that relates 2 rows from 2 different files?
If you know that, you can rewrite the initial script - no need for sorting.

Can it be done on the basis of filteration also means for file 1 we will take the primary key and then filter the file 2 on the basis of that but i think it will be cumbersome. Sorting the whole file on the basis of primary key will be better option.

Can you please provide any better way of doing this. what will the unix commands for the same. Thanking you in advance for helping me out on this.

XkbAddGeomOverlayKey(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbAddGeomOverlayKey(3)

NAME
XkbAddGeomOverlayKey - Add a key to an existing overlay row SYNOPSIS
XkbOverlayKeyPtr XkbAddGeomOverlayKey (XkbOverlayPtr overlay, XkbRowPtr row, char *under); ARGUMENTS
- overlay overlay to be updated - row row in overlay to be updated - under primary name of the key to be considered DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements. The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties. XkbAddGeomOverlayKey adds one key to the row in the overlay. If there is no key named under in the row of the underlying section, XkbAd- dGeomOverlayKey returns NULL. STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbOverlayKey { XkbKeyNameRec over; /* name of this overlay key */ XkbKeyNameRec under; /* name of the key under this overlay key */ } XkbOverlayKeyRec,*XkbOverlayKeyPtr; X Version 11 libX11 1.5.0 XkbAddGeomOverlayKey(3)
