hit brick wall while trying to knock up a script that will take values from the "lookup" file and look it up in the "target" file and return values that dont appear in "target" but do in "lookup".
just knocked up something using bits from previous threads but theres gotta be something wrong with the syntax as it will not execute properly.
it does print the output but also complains about "awk: cmd. line:2: (FILENAME=lookup FNR=4) fatal: `continue' outside a loop is not allowed" at the same time
first time im using awk, and pretty novice at shell in general.
lookup contains
tom
ronnie
sam
naiz
mum
kash
target contains
naiz
mum
kash
output should be
tom
ronnie
sam
