Many thanks frappa and Scrutinizer, your codes work very nice in my example Smilie, the thing is that when I use them in bigger files, for some reason the output is not complete, please let me attach those files, they are fileA (two columns file) and fileB (one column file). The output should have the same length as the fileB (15287 records) but only has around 15150 records, why should be that?
