comparing two files having different delimiters using awk
hi,
i have a file called file1.txt and it's contents are as below:

file1.txt:
-------

abc,123, thomas
dab,234,muller
gab,456,ram

The lookup file's contents are as below:

lookup.txt
----------

abc|japan
dcd|US
dab|china
gab|brazil

The output should be like:
japan,123,thomas
china,234,muller
brazil,456,ram

Note that i have different delimiter in the lookup file.
Is it possible to lookup a file having a different delimiter?
