Hello SDohmen,

You could redirect the output to a Output_file as follows then.
Code:
awk 'FNR==NR{A[$1]=$1;next} ($1 in A){print}' pattern_file FS=";" main_file  >  Output_file

EDIT: In case you need Output_file for matches and non-matches both then following may help you in same then.
Code:
 awk 'FNR==NR{A[$1]=$1;next} ($1 in A){print >> "Output_match_found_file"} !($1 in A){print >> "Output_match_NOT_found_file"}' pattern_file FS=";" main_file

Thanks,
R. Singh
