Search pattern in a file taking input from another file
Hi,
Below is my requirement
I need a command such that it should fetch the rows from file2 and search for matching rows [character 6 to 8th] in file1 and print the matching lines in output_file1.txt and non-matching lines in output_file2.txt.
For example, pattern "sdh" from file2 match with row (6th to 8th character) in file1 hence the row from file1 should be printed to output_file1.txt and 2nd row from file1 does not match with any pattern in file2 hence it should be printed to output_file2.txt.
I have cut the lines from file1 by using cut command as follows by could not reach the desired solution. Please Help!
Thanks,
Imran.

diff
DIFF(1) General Commands Manual DIFF(1)NAME
diff - print differences between two files
SYNOPSIS
diff [-c | -e | -C n] [-br]file1 file2
OPTIONS -C n Produce output that contains n lines of context
-b Ignore white space when comparing
-c Produce output that contains three lines of context
-e Produce an ed-script to convert file1 into file2
-r Apply diff recursively to files and directories of
EXAMPLES
diff file1 file2 # Print differences between 2 files
diff -C 0 file1 file2
# Same as above
diff -C 3 file1 file2
# Output three lines of context with every
diff -c file1 file2 # Same
diff /etc /dev # Compares recursively the directories /etc and /dev
diff passwd /etc # Compares ./passwd to /etc/passwd
DESCRIPTION
the same name, when file1 and file2 are both directories" difference encountered"
Diff compares two files and generates a list of lines telling how the two files differ. Lines may not be longer than 128 characters. If
the two arguments on the command line are both directories, diff recursively steps through all subdirectories comparing files of the same
name. If a file name is found only in one directory, a diagnostic message is written to stdout. A file that is of either block special,
character special or FIFO special type, cannot be compared to any other file. On the other hand, if there is one directory and one file
given on the command line, diff tries to compare the file with the same name as file in the directory directory.
