Yes I did. I am read through several threads and am currently trying this:
which works, but it only prints out 5 lines for some reason, even though the first column for each file is identical.
The join command would work too, but it requires that the lines in the inout files are in sorted order..

Can you help me understand what is being matched up with that line of code, though? For example if I wanted file2 to be matched with column 2 instead, but only print column 1 to the output, what would I have to change around?
thanks!!
Then you could try something like this:
If that does not work, you would need to provide a better data sample..

I have two files that have exactly the same format. They are both tab-delimited and contain 12 columns. However the # of rows vary. What I want to do is match columns # 5,6 and 7 between the two files. If they do match exactly (based on numbers) then I want the whole row from file 2 to... (1 Reply)

combine
COMBINE(1)COMBINE(1)NAME
combine - combine sets of lines from two files using boolean operations
SYNOPSIS
combine file1 and file2
combine file1 not file2
combine file1 or file2
combine file1 xor file2
_ file1 and file2 _
_ file1 not file2 _
_ file1 or file2 _
_ file1 xor file2 _
DESCRIPTION
combine combines the lines in two files. Depending on the boolean operation specified, the contents will be combined in different ways:
and Outputs lines that are in file1 if they are also present in file2.
not Outputs lines that are in file1 but not in file2.
or Outputs lines that are in file1 or file2.
xor Outputs lines that are in either file1 or file2, but not in both files.
"-" can be specified for either file to read stdin for that file.
The input files need not be sorted, and the lines are output in the order they occur in file1 (followed by the order they occur in file2
for the two "or" operations). Bear in mind that this means that the operations are not commutative; "a and b" will not necessarily be the
same as "b and a". To obtain commutative behavior sort and uniq the result.
Note that this program can be installed as "_" to allow for the syntactic sugar shown in the latter half of the synopsis (similar to the
test/[ command). It is not currently installed as "_" by default, but you can alias it to that if you like.
