@cgkmal, didn't work too well with my test files (didn't expand my markers, changed order of lines and truncated first line):
This change order issue is something what I was seeing how to solve in the printing when I do for(i in X), but I can't so far .
The other thing, I see now that I was testing with fixed format files format and not more general files as you show. Certainly it won't work
only with my simple test files. I'll try to adapt it in some other way if I can in order to work with other files

Trying to use awk to:
update $2 in file2 with the $2 value in file1, if $1 in file1 matches $13 in file2, which is tab-delimeted. The $2values may already be the same so in that case nothing happens and the next line is processed.
There are exactly 4,605 unique $13 values. Thank you :).
