Hi bstaff,
I think we already understand the you want the results to be stored into a third file (rather than just letting the output be sent to the program's standard output so you could redirect it wherever you wanted it to go). The question is: "Given the contents of
File 1 and
File 2 that you showed us in post #1 in this thread, exactly what output do you hope will be stored in your output file?
Note also that the description of your problem talks about
file 1 and
file 2 (with entirely lowercase "file" in both cases), but when you showed us sample contents for those files you showed labels with initial caps on both filenames. On most BSD, Linux, and UNIX filesystems, case matters in filenames.
