Pick out columns according to list of column names

Hi Everyone:

I'm new to linux and I was wondering what the best way to approach the following problem was.

I have 2 files:

File A:
Code:
ID123
ID234
ID456

File B:
Code:
ID123 ID234 ID345 ID456
A B C D
E F G H 
I J K L

Based on the list of IDs in File A, I want to output only the corresponding columns from file B.

Output:
Code:
ID123 ID234 ID456
A B D
E F H
I J L

Any insight would greatly be appreciated!

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
