Hi Don, also if you see that file4 content, i am putting field1 in array whose value is field2 from file4
Code:
filecounter==4{UPW[$1]=$2;next}

& the same is being matched from mainfile. I have also highlighted the same in my earlier post. Can you please suggest how to handle this.
I understand that your code is setting values in your four arrays that are never used. If you change the four lines setting the arrays from:
Code:
filecounter==1 {KRL[$1]=$2;next}
...

to:
Code:
filecounter==1 {KRL[$1];next}
...

you would get exactly the same results. I left that seemingly extraneous initialization in place assuming that your real code would do something with the values that had been saved in the arrays instead of just saying "FOUND IN arrayname".

But I have no idea what "this" is referring to in:

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
