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.
