admin.developer is in new york state;

content of fileB

admin.teacher is in chigago;
user.teacher is in new york;
admin.mason is in new york;
admin.developer is in new york state
admin.plumber is in new york;
admin.driver is in new york city;
user.trucker is in hartford;
admin.nurse is in new york state;
admin.teacher is in new york

This is what I am trying to achieve:
I would like to loop through fileB and if any member in fileA
is found in fileB then that line in fileB will be commented with (--)
