Match data based on two fields, and append to a line
I need to write a program to do something like a 'vlookup' in excel. I want to match data from file2 based on two fields (where both match) in file1, and for matching lines, add the data from two of the fields from file2 to file1.
If anyone knows something in perl or awk that can do this, I'd be very happy
e.g.:
(match on field 1 and 2, and append column 4 and 5 to column 5 and 6)
file1
file2
output

Hi,
I need help on appending certain field in my file1.txt based on matched patterns in file2.txt using awk or sed.
The blue color need to match with one of the data in field $2 in file2.txt. If match, BEGIN and FINISHED value in red will have a new value from field $3 and $4 accordingly.

Hello,
:wall:
I have a 12 column csv file. I wish to delete the entire line if column 7 = hello and column 12 = goodbye. I have tried everything that I can find in all of my ref books.
I know this does not work
/^*,*,*,*,*,*,"hello",*,*,*,*,"goodbye"/d
Any ideas?
Thanks

Not Sure how to do this. Some combo of awk and sed perhaps. If String in File1 match String in file2 then append file2

Trying to use awk to store the value of $5 in file1 in array x. That array x is then used to search $4 of file1 to find aa match (I use x to skip the header in file1). Since $4 can have multiple strings in it seperated by a , (comma), I split them and iterate througn each split looking for a match.... (2 Replies)
