Replace value in csv file with match from another file
Good morning everyone and hello unix.com!
I'm trying to solve a problem and was unable to find a solution after a forum research. So hopefully you can help me get this solved.
I have these two csv files:
file1.csv
ID,REFERENCE,STATUS
1,2,0
2,4,1
3,1,0
file2.csv
REFERENCE,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME
1,John,Smith
2,Mary,James
3,Steve,Adams
4,Michael,Angelo
What I'm trying to achieve is to replace the 'REFERENCE' column in file1.csv with the respective line from file2.csv (matching 'REFERENCE'). So the output I want is:
1,2,Mary,James,0
2,4,Michael,Angelo,1
3,1,John,Smith,0
I have played around with the JOIN command in conjunction with SORT, but to no avail yet. Does anyone have an idea how to do that?
Thanks a lot,
RKos
