Comparing Files
Hello all. Quick question.
I have to compare these 2 files and display the lines of one file that match a column in another file.
So I have 2 files both contain 3 fields. I want to compare the first field from the first file to the second file.
If there is a match I want to display the first second and third field on that file.
So one file contains a list of names and is compared with another file that contains a list of names and other stuff.
I am comparing a shorter amount of names with a longer list of names.
For instance I have to display the list of online users from a file that contains a list of all the users.
Thanks for your help.
