I think your formatting has gone a bit wild when you've pasted the file contents in. Could you have another go. Can you wrap them with Code Tags too.

Does my follow up code above work perchance? If not, how badly is it wrong?

Oops, crossed postings. I will have a look-see.

Syntax error and then no matching output. I will think again.


Sorry.

Syntax error corrected, but no hits. Your input file File2.txt does not have anything in columns 6 & 9 to work with.

My code is now:-
Code:
cut -f3 -d "tab" File1.txt | while read f1
do
   f2line=`cut -f6,9 -d "tab" File2.txt|grep "^${f1}tab"`
   f2="${f2line#*tab}"
   echo "${f1}tab${f2}"
done > File3.txt

... and seems to work when I add more text on each line in File2.txt


Have I mis-interpreted your needs?
