Hi cmccabe ,
In post #1, you said that the desired output from your two sample input files is:
Given that there is no record in file2 that contains the file1 field 2 values as a coding value in the single-quoted sub-subfields of field 8 in file2 why were the values show in red in the above output selected as the desired output? (I note that the output produced by the perl script durden_tyler suggested omits that field from the output and you didn't comment on that discrepancy.)
Other than having no idea how the 3rd output field in the first two records of your desired output is supposed to be selected, I think I can come up with an awk script that does what you want just using standard awk features (without the gawk extensions your current code is trying to use).

The below awk is used with the attached index.html and matches the specific user id in the sub portion with path of /rundb/api/v1/plugin/49/. The command does run but the output is blank. Something changed in the file structure as it used to work.
So using the first line in the output:

I am trying to use awk to match the NM_ in file with $1 of id which is tab-delimited. The NM_ will always be in the line of file that starts with > and be after the second _. When there is a match between each NM_ and id, then the value of $2 in id is substituted or used to update the NM_. Each NM_... (3 Replies)
I am trying to use awk to find all the $2 values in file2 which is ~30MB and tab-delimited, that are between $2 and $3 in file1 which is ~2GB and tab-delimited.

join
JOIN(1) BSD General Commands Manual JOIN(1)NAME
join -- relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [-a file_number | -v file_number] [-e string] [-o list] [-t char] [-1 field] [-2 field] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The join utility performs an ``equality join'' on the specified files and writes the result to the standard output. The ``join field'' is
the field in each file by which the files are compared. The first field in each line is used by default. There is one line in the output
for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 which have identical join fields. Each output line consists of the join field, the remaining
fields from file1 and then the remaining fields from file2.
The default field separators are tab and space characters. In this case, multiple tabs and spaces count as a single field separator, and
leading tabs and spaces are ignored. The default output field separator is a single space character.
Many of the options use file and field numbers. Both file numbers and field numbers are 1 based, i.e., the first file on the command line is
file number 1 and the first field is field number 1. The following options are available:
-a file_number
In addition to the default output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file file_number.
-e string
Replace empty output fields with string.
-o list
The -o option specifies the fields that will be output from each file for each line with matching join fields. Each element of list
has either the form file_number.field, where file_number is a file number and field is a field number, or the form '0' (zero), repre-
senting the join field. The elements of list must be either comma (',') or whitespace separated. (The latter requires quoting to
protect it from the shell, or, a simpler approach is to use multiple -o options.)
-t char
Use character char as a field delimiter for both input and output. Every occurrence of char in a line is significant.
-v file_number
Do not display the default output, but display a line for each unpairable line in file file_number. The options -v 1 and -v 2 may be
specified at the same time.
-1 field
Join on the field'th field of file1.
-2 field
Join on the field'th field of file2.
When the default field delimiter characters are used, the files to be joined should be ordered in the collating sequence of sort(1), using
the -b option, on the fields on which they are to be joined, otherwise join may not report all field matches. When the field delimiter char-
acters are specified by the -t option, the collating sequence should be the same as sort(1) without the -b option.
If one of the arguments file1 or file2 is '-', the standard input is used.
EXIT STATUS
The join utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
COMPATIBILITY
For compatibility with historic versions of join, the following options are available:
-a In addition to the default output, produce a line for each unpairable line in both file1 and file2.
-j1 field
Join on the field'th field of file1.
-j2 field
Join on the field'th field of file2.
-j field
Join on the field'th field of both file1 and file2.
-o list ...
Historical implementations of join permitted multiple arguments to the -o option. These arguments were of the form
file_number.field_number as described for the current -o option. This has obvious difficulties in the presence of files named 1.2.
These options are available only so historic shell scripts do not require modification and should not be used.

The join command conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
