Where would I put that additional condition in my code?

I tried the following but not getting the desired output.

Code:
awk -F","  'FNR > 1; FNR==NR{a[$1]=$2 FS $3","$4","$5","$6","$7","$8;next} $1 in a {print $0, a[$1]}' OFS='|' b.txt a.txtawk -F","  'FNR==NR{a[$1]=$2 FS $3","$4","$5","$6","$7","$8;next} $1 in a {print $0, a[$1]}' OFS='|' b.txt a.txt

Output:
#|,,,,,,
2,3,4,5|two,three,foor,,,,

Code:
awk -F"," 'FNR>1' 'FNR==NR{a[$1]=$2 FS $3","$4","$5","$6","$7","$8;next} $1 in a {print $0, a[$1]}' OFS='|' b.txt a.txt
2,two,three,foor

Output:
1,1,1,1,
2,3,4,5
3,4,5,6

Thanks.
