Comparing two files having different delimiters

hi,
i have a file called OVER90.txt and it's contents are as below:

over90.txt:
-------
Code:
UNIQUENAME 2013-12-06 11:23:48.1
UNIQUENAME2 2014-03-10 12:22:29.91
UNIQUENAME3 2013-04-02 10:41:22.1
UNIQUENAME4 2014-07-07 10:43:57.953

The ldap_jcon file's contents are as below:

ldap_jcon.txt
----------
Code:
UNIQUENAME,   HQ_USER, 
UNIQUENAME2,       DIST_AO, 
UNIQUENAME3,      DIST_AO, 
UNIQUENAME4,        HQ_USER, DIV_AO,

The output should be like:
Code:
UNIQUENAME 2013-12-06 11:23:48.1  - HQ_USER
UNIQUENAME2 2014-03-10 12:22:29.91  - DIST_AO
UNIQUENAME4 2014-07-07 10:43:57.953  - HQ_USER, DIV_AO

Note that i have different delimiter in the ldap_jcon file.
Is it possible to compare the two files based on the first field and create a new file the the output results shown above?

ppmtosixel(1)						      General Commands Manual						     ppmtosixel(1)

NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file. OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com- pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni- tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. -margin If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci- fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?. BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation. SEE ALSO
