Hi Franklin52, thanks a lot for the reply. Its working just fine.
However, I also have another set of files which are similar to the above mentioned but slightly different orientation. And I couldnt apply your code to them. Here are the files.
As you can see there are 5 columns now in file2. Match the column of file1 with fifth column of file2 and print out the complete lines in file2 with corresponding highest value in column2 of file2. If the values are same and no highest value, just print the first line of matching.
desired output

I have very limited coding skills but I'm wondering if someone could help me with this. There are many threads about matching strings in two files, but I have no idea how to add a column from one file to another based on a matching string.

I need to find matches for any lines in file1 that appear in file2. Desired output is '>' plus the file1 term, followed by the line after the match in file2 (so the title is a little misleading):

I have a file containing texts and indexes. I need the text between (and including ) INDEX and number "1" alone in line. I have managed this:

It works for all indexes.

I am trying to use awk to find all the $2 values in file2 which is ~30MB and tab-delimited, that are between $2 and $3 in file1 which is ~2GB and tab-delimited.
I have just found out that I need to use $1 and $2 and $3 from file1 and $1 and $2of file2 must match $1 of file1 and be in the range... (6 Replies)
This is a question that is related to one I had last August when I was trying to sort/merge two files by millsecond time column (in this case column 6).
The script (below) that helped me last august by RudiC solved the puzzle of sorting/merging two files by time, except it gets lost when the... (0 Replies)
