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.

XListFonts()															      XListFonts()

Name
  XListFonts - return a list of the available font names.

Synopsis
  char **XListFonts(display, pattern, maxnames, actual_count_return)
	Display *display;
	char *pattern;
	int maxnames;
	int *actual_count_return;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  pattern   Specifies  the  string associated with the font names you want returned.  You can specify any string, including asterisks (*) and
	    question marks (?).  The asterisk indicates a wildcard for any number of characters and the question mark  indicates  a  wildcard
	    for  a  single  character.	Uppercase or lowercase is not important.  If the pattern string is not in the Host Portable Character
	    Encoding the result is implementation-dependent.

  maxnames  Specifies the maximum number of names that are to be in the returned list.

  actual_count_return
	    Returns the actual number of font names in the list.

Returns
  The list of font names.

Description
  XListFonts() returns a list of font names that match the string pattern.  Each returned font name string is terminated  by  NULL.   If  the
  data	returned  by  the  server  is  in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned strings are in the Host Portable Character
  Encoding.  Otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent.  The maximum number of names returned in the list is the value you passed  to
  maxnames.  The function returns the actual number of font names in actual_count_return.

  If no fonts match the specified names, XListFonts() returns NULL.

  The client should call XFreeFontNames() when done with the font name list.

  The font search path (the order in which font names in various directories are compared to pattern) is set by XSetFontPath().

  For more information on fonts, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text.
