Edit: Posts crossed. I can see that neither file is in any particular order and that your sample does not show a one-for-one match.
It's going to be necessary to sort both files. Does the order of the final output data matter?
There is one-for-one match and its not necessary that the id from input.txt is always found in status.txt, if its found then there is only one match.
No the order doesn't matter here.
