Here are a couple of other ways to get what you requested:
Code:
Echo "Using shell while read loop:"
rest=$(wc -l < main)
while read cc
do      ccc=$(grep '|'"$cc"'|' main|wc -l)
        printf "%s - %d\n" "$cc" $ccc
        rest=$(($rest - $ccc))
done < list_file
printf "REST - %d\n" $rest
printf "\nUsing awk script:\n"
awk -F'|' '
FNR == NR {
        ccc[$2]++
        rest++
        next
}
{       printf("%s - %d\n", $1, ccc[$1])
        rest -= ccc[$1]
}
END {   printf("REST - %d\n", rest)
}' main list_file

This should work with any POSIX-conforming shell (e.g., ksh or bash). If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, /usr/xpg6/bin/awk, or nawk.
The output from this script with your two sample files as input is:
Code:
Using shell while read loop:
AUS - 2
NZ - 1
REST - 2

Using awk script:
AUS - 2
NZ - 1
REST - 2
