Did you apply that command totally unmodified? After specifying in post#1 that you want to match fields 1 and 5 of fileA with fields 1 and 2 of fileB, you are using fields 2 and 3 of fileA and fields 1 and 4 of fileB. Do you see a chance this should work? On top, the field separator of your files seems to be | , but the script uses , .
A few hints on that script: It first reads fileA and tries to assign a string composition of FILENAME and fields 1 and 3 to array A indexed by fields 2 and 3 (which fails as the fields are NOT separated due to wrong FS) and similar to array B. Then, reading fileB, it tries to match fields 1 and 4 with the indices of A (which would fail even if the FS were correct), and, on positive match, prints an even stranger composition of array elements, FILENAMEs, and fields.

I am trying to join/paste columns from two files for the rows with matching first field. Any help will be appreciated.
Files can not be sorted and may not have all rows in both files.
Thanks.

Hey,
I have two files that have exactly the same format. They are both tab-delimited and contain 12 columns. However the # of rows vary. What I want to do is match columns # 5,6 and 7 between the two files. If they do match exactly (based on numbers) then I want the whole row from file 2 to... (1 Reply)

Hi again,
I have monthly one-column files of roughly around 10 years. Is there a more efficient way to concatenate these files column-wise other than using paste command? For instance:
file1.txt
12
13
15
12
file2.txt
14
15
18
19
file3.txt

Hi,
I need to join two files together with one common value in a column. I think I can use awk or join or a combination but I can't quite get it.
Basically my data looks like this, with the TICKER columns matching up in each file
File1
TICKER,column 1, column, 2, column, 3, column 4

join
JOIN(1) General Commands Manual JOIN(1)NAME
join - relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [-an] [-e s] [-o list] [-tc] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard
input is used.
File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in
each line.
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con-
sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2.
Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis-
carded.
These options are recognized:
-an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2.
-e s Replace empty output fields by string s.
-o list
Each output line comprises the fields specified in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a
field number.
-tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant.
SEE ALSO sort(1), comm(1), awk(1).
BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort.
The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous.
