Dear RudiC, Aia,

This is working perfectly well ...

Thanks a lot.

---------- Post updated at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous update was at 04:57 PM ----------

Is there any chance/way that we increament the counter by 1 before replacing it in file2. So the final output would look like below:

file2(after counter increment by 1)

Code:
Sale|11|London|3|28022018  
Approval|11 
 Agent1|12|abc|abc|  
Agent2|12|abc|abc|  
Agent3|12|abc|abc|  
Final|11|All_Total

And also replicate the same info in file one too. So LONDON:10 in file1 will be now LONDON:11. So file1 will looks like below:

file1 (after update)

Code:
London:11 
NewYork:4 
Dubai:3 
Manchester:12

---------- Post updated at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous update was at 06:04 PM ----------

Code:
awk '
  NR == FNR       {TR[$1] = $2
                   next
                  }
  FNR == 1        {CITY = $3
                   for (n=split(PLINES, TMP); n; n--) LINES[TMP[n]]
                  }
   
  $1 == "Final" ||
  FNR in LINES    {$2 = TR[CITY]+1
                  }
  1
  ' FS=: file1 FS=\| OFS=\| PLINES="1|2" file2

above worked to increment the counter by 1.

So now I only need to work on updating file1.

html::formattext5.18

HTML::FormatText(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       HTML::FormatText(3)

NAME

       HTML::FormatText - Format HTML as plaintext

VERSION

       version 2.11

SYNOPSIS

	   use HTML::TreeBuilder;
	   $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new->parse_file("test.html");

	   use HTML::FormatText;
	   $formatter = HTML::FormatText->new(leftmargin => 0, rightmargin => 50);
	   print $formatter->format($tree);

       or, more simply:

	   use HTML::FormatText;
	   my $string = HTML::FormatText->format_file(
	       'test.html',
	       leftmargin => 0, rightmargin => 50
	       );

DESCRIPTION

       HTML::FormatText is a formatter that outputs plain latin1 text. All character attributes (bold/italic/underline) are ignored. Formatting of
       HTML tables and forms is not implemented.

       HTML::FormatText is built on HTML::Formatter and documentation for that module applies to this - especially "new" in HTML::Formatter,
       "format_file" in HTML::Formatter and "format_string" in HTML::Formatter.

       You might specify the following parameters when constructing the formatter:

       leftmargin (alias lm)
	   The column of the left margin. The default is 3.

       rightmargin (alias rm)
	   The column of the right margin. The default is 72.
