Hi.

This shell script drives the perl script, and compares the generated output to your posted expected output:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s2	Demonstrate exercise of selector perl code.

echo
set +o nounset
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
echo "Environment: LC_ALL = $LC_ALL, LANG = $LANG"
echo "(Versions displayed with local utility \"version\")"
version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version "=o" $(_eat $0 $1) perl cmp sdiff diff
set -o nounset

echo " Lines in index file: $(wc -l <data1)"
echo " Lines in expected output: $(wc -l <expected-output.txt)"

echo
echo " Results:"
./p2 > t1
echo " Lines in output file: $(wc -l <t1)"
if cmp t1 expected-output.txt
then
  echo " Files are the same."
else
  echo " Files differ."
  sdiff -w78 -s t1 expected-output.txt
fi

exit 0

the perl script:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# @(#) p2	Demonstrate selection of tagged lines.

use warnings;
use strict;

my ($debug);
$debug = 1;
$debug = 0;

my ( $f1, $f2, $i, %selectors, $junk, $key, @parts, $t1 );

open( $f1, "<", "data1" ) || die(" Cannot open data1.\n");

# Get the tags into hash selectors.

while (<$f1>) {
  $t1 = (split)[3];
  $selectors{$t1}++;
}
print " selectors is :%selectors:\n" if $debug;
close $f1;

open( $f2, "<", "data2" ) || die(" Cannot open data2.\n");

# Read data file of words, check for exisitence in selectors hash.

while (<$f2>) {
  chomp;
  @parts = split( / /, $_, 2 );
  print " Working on tag $parts[0]\n" if $debug;
  if ( not exists( $selectors{ $parts[0] } ) ) {
    print " Skipping tagged line $parts[0]\n" if $debug;
    next;
  }
  print "$parts[1]\n\n";
}

exit(0);

producing:
Code:
% ./s2

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 
GNU bash 3.2.39
perl 5.10.0
cmp (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1
sdiff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1
diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1
 Lines in index file: 14
 Lines in expected output: 28

 Results:
 Lines in output file: 28
t1 expected-output.txt differ: char 744, line 9
 Files differ.

The 2 lines which differ from the expected output do so because there are extra embedded spaces in those specific lines in the expected output file compared to the source file.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

NAME
fmt - format text SYNOPSIS
width] [file...] DESCRIPTION
The command is a simple text formatter that fills and joins lines to produce output lines of (up to) the number of characters specified in the width option. The default width is 72. concatenates the arguments. If none are given, formats text from the standard input. Blank lines are preserved in the output, as is the spacing between words. does not fill lines beginning with a period for compatibility with Nor does it fill lines starting with Indentation is preserved in the output and input lines with differing indentation are not joined (unless is used). can also be used as an in-line text filter for the command: reformats the text between the cursor location and the end of the paragraph. Options recognizes the following options: Crown margin mode. Preserve the indentation of the first two lines within a paragraph and align the left margin of each subsequent line with that of the second line. This is useful for tagged paragraphs. Split lines only. Do not join short lines to form longer ones. This prevents sample lines of code, and other such "formatted" text, from being unduly combined. Fill output lines to up to width columns. WARNINGS
The width option is acceptable for BSD compatibility, but it may go away in future releases. SEE ALSO
