Compare multiple columns and print original file
Hello, I have two tab files with headers

File1: with 4 columns
Code:
header1    header2    header3    header4
44    a    bb    1
57    c    ab    4
64    d    d    5

File2: with 26 columns

Code:
header1..    header5    header6    header7 ... header 22...header26
id1 44    a    bb    
id2 57    c    ab    
id3 64    d    d
id4 103  e g

Output
Code:
header1..    header5    header6    header7 ... header 22...header26
id2.. 57    c    ab...    4 ...
id3.. 64    d    d... 5 ...
id4.. 103  e g ...   Unknown ...

I want to compare File1.$1$2$3 with File2.$5$6$7 and print its value in column 22 of File2 only if it matches value of '4' or '5' from File1.$4 or has no entry in File1

I started by trying to comparing columns to see if it produces any output but have been stuck since

Code:
awk -F, 'NR == FNR {
  a[$1FS$2FS$3] = $5FS$6$FS7; next 
  }
$4 in a {
  print $0, a[$4]
  }' OFS='\t' file1.txt file2.txt > output.txt

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

LEARN ABOUT PHP

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.
