Comparing two files and creating a new file
Hi,
I want to compare two files based on the data in their first column. Both the files are not equal in their number of columns and number of entries or rows.
The entries (only the first column) of the
file1 should be compared with the entries (only the first column) of the
file2. If the data in the first column matches in both the files, then that data's corresponding row in the
file2 should be printed fully into a new file (
file3). This should be done as long as the entries in the
file1 has been fully compared with the
file2
file1
HTML Code:
1 0.25 0.56 0.56 0 55
5 0.99 0.44 0.89 0 89
7 0.77 0.45 0.75 0 100
file2
HTML Code:
1 0.25 0.56 0.56 0 6.565 6.555 1.589 7.892 70
2 0.88 0.25 0.77 0 6.458 4.215 1.588 7.222 80
5 0.99 0.44 0.89 0 7.444 5.444 7.444 9.221 90
7 0.77 0.45 0.75 0 4.225 4.256 7.555 2.222 10
8 0.14 0.44 0.78 0 2.457 4.222 8.777 1.454 20
The required output file (
file3) should look like:
HTML Code:
1 0.25 0.56 0.56 0 6.565 6.555 1.589 7.892 70
5 0.99 0.44 0.89 0 7.444 5.444 7.444 9.221 90
7 0.77 0.45 0.75 0 4.225 4.256 7.555 2.222 10
