Hello,
I'm trying to write a bash script that will search for words from one list that may be found in another list. Once the record is found, it will create a new text file for each word.
For example, list1.txt contains the following:
List2.txt contains
Since Dog and Cat are found in both files, two files will be created. The first file (Dog) will be a .txt file containing
The second file will be called Cat.txt and will have
Here's what I have so far. I'm stuck and I'm not quite sure how to proceed
I'm dealing with VERY large files where list1.txt contains 213 entries while list2.txt contaings 12,000 entries. I think I'm on the right track, but my method seems like it would also take a VERY long time since it's a FOR LOOP for each iteration (yikes!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

look
look(1) General Commands Manual look(1)NAME
look - Finds lines in a sorted list
SYNOPSIS
look [-df] [-tcharacter] string [file]
The look command prints all lines in a sorted file that begin with string.
OPTIONS
Uses dictionary order; only letters, digits, tabs, and spaces are used in comparisons. Searches without regard to case; treats uppercase
and lowercase as equivalent. Ignores character and characters following it in the search string. If you specify look -tC ABCDE, the
string ABCDE would become (in effect) AB, with CDE being ignored. This option is primarily for shell scripts, in which more than one
string is being processed.
DESCRIPTION
If no file is specified, look searches in the system word list /usr/share/dict/words, with the options -df assumed by default.
The look command uses binary search.
The -d and -f options affect comparisons as in sort.
NOTES
In order to use the -f option, you must first sort file with the sort -f command; otherwise, look displays only lowercase items.
If you do not specify -f, but specify a file (such as /usr/share/dict/words) that has been sorted with sort -f, look may not produce any
output.
EXAMPLES
To search a sorted file called sortfile for all lines that begin with the string as, enter: look as sortfile To search the system word list
for all words beginning with smi, enter: look smi
This might result in: smile smirk smith smithereens Smithfield Smithson smithy smitten
FILES
System word list.
