Want to print out lines with a matching pattern from file
Hi all,
I want to search for strings in file1 that can be found in file2 and print out the whole line when matching pattern is found.
I have used the below command, but this is not working for me, because it is writing out only the matching patterns from file2, not the whole line.
fgrep -o -f file1 file2 > output
For a better understanding this is how my files are looking like
file1
b
c
e
g
file2
a 1
b 2
c 3
e 4
f 5
g 6
h 7
so I would like to have in the output
b 2
c 3
e 4
g 6
Would you have any suggestion how could I use grep/fgrep for this situations? Or maybe another command like awk or sed?Many thanks in advance for your help.

XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)
NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed
directly to cmp or diff. If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported com-
pression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
