Wow that works great. Looks like I need to read up some more on nawk.

One thing though. This is eliminating the rows from FileA that have the same A3 value but the unique A1. In other words, the merged file should contain 1 row for every A1 field that contains an A3 (no matter if its the same as the one above it). This is eliminating the first 2 lines that have a "DDDD" in FileA. There needs to be 3 lines that have a "DDDD" in the merged output since FileA had 3 different A1's with the same A3. "HHHH" is the same way.

How would you alter this to allow those scenarios to be caught?


:::::::::
::FileA::
:::::::::
A1-------A2--------A3---A4---A5--
=================================
DC35S51--XXXXY1----DDDD------44X-
DC35S52--XXXXY2----DDDD------44Y-
DC35S53--XXXXY3----DDDD------44Z-
=================================

:::::::::
::FileB::
:::::::::
B1------B2-------------------B3--------B4--------B5----------
=============================================================
DDDD----+NDMMN.BMXXMNX-------27/98B----NX/778----93010-------
=============================================================

It should come out to this:

:::::::::::::::
::Merged File::
:::::::::::::::
A1--------A3----B2----------------B3------B4------B5------
==========================================================
DC35S51---DDDD--+NDMMN.BMXXMNX----27/98B--NX/778--93010---
DC35S52---DDDD--+NDMMN.BMXXMNX----27/98B--NX/778--93010---
DC35S53---DDDD--+NDMMN.BMXXMNX----27/98B--NX/778--93010---
==========================================================

But instead its coming out like this:

A1--------A3----B2----------------B3------B4------B5------
==========================================================
DC35S53---DDDD--+NDMMN.BMXXMNX----27/98B--NX/778--93010---
==========================================================

eliminating the DC35S51 & DC35S52.
