Filter lines common in two files

Thanks everyone. I got that problem solved.

I require one more help here. (Yes, UNIX definitely seems to be fun and useful, and I WILL eventually learn it for myself. But I am now on a different project and don't really have time to go through all the basics. So, I will really appreciate some help.)

I've got two data files.
One has: ID lat lon data1 data2; for ex:
Code:
1001   23.5  -6.45  3.2  14.68
1002   48.2  -35.6  8.5  21.67
1003   -5.6   23.6   3.5  3.56
...
...

And the other has: ID data3 data4 data5
For example:
Code:
1001   C   16   US
1002   D    32   US
1004   E    13   US
...
...


There are approximately 2500 IDs but neither has all of them. file1 has few missing, so does file2, but the missing IDs are not necessarily common.

Now I want to make a new file with: ID lat lon data4 ; but ONLY for the IDs that are common in both.
So, for above files it would be:

Code:
1001   23.5  -6.45  16
1002   48.2  -35.6  32
...
...

I searched the forums and there are similar problems which are solved using awk but I could not comprehend the scripts well enough to create my own solution.
Thanks.
