Hello kraljic,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps.
Code:
awk 'FNR==NR{gsub(/[[:digit:]]/,X,$0);A[$0];next} ($1 in A){print $1 " exists in file " ARGV[1]}' somestrings.txt checkIF.txt

Output will be as follows.
Code:
PENGUIN exists in file somestrings.txt
MOBILE exists in file somestrings.txt

Thanks,
R. Singh
