Jim's command worked for me to select just the particular lines from heros.txt based on what is in where.txt. It does output the whole line from heros.txt, but only the lines with a matching hero name. Are you wanting it to only output the names? or does grep not work as expected for you?
You also mention "for loop". Are you trying to program this in some language? Which language?
