Hi scottn,
Thanks for your reminding Smilie
Can I ask you what is the meaning of "?" and "A[$1]:$0" in your awk code?
Code:
awk '
 NR == FNR { A[$1] = $1 "\t" $0; next }
 { print ($1 in A)?A[$1]:$0 }
' file2 file1

Thanks.

Hi summer,
Can I ask you how we can determine to use awk, nawk, or gawk?
As I know, Awk is the orignal awk. Nawk is new_awk and gawk the gnu_awk. The gnu_awk can do most, but is not available everywhere. So best is to use only things which nawk can do, because if that is not installed, then the system is not well anyway.
The "_" at your code script, is it represent everything inside the data?
Thanks for suggestion Smilie

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
