Hi,I have been using the resolution you had given last time but it doesnt seem to work with huge files. I wil explain.As in similar lines given in example above,in the real time scenario that i havefile 1 has 30K recordsfile 2 has 25 lac recordsRequirement is: Read file 1 and copy all occurances of the record in file2 to a new file,say file3.When i use grep -f file1 file2 > file 3,file 3 is having the records required along with many unwanted records in file2 and i have to delete the unwanted records in file3. Considering the huge count,its becoming tedious. Any work around to ensure that only desired records in file1 are copied to file3 from file 2??
