Thanks google but...
I did do extensive searching here to no avail... I found many variations, but none that inserted a blank line if not found. In fact, in reviewing the thread you linked I still don't see the answer. I am a bit sleep deprived since we've been working around the clock to get ready for registration at the college I work for... so I do apologize... but please help just the same. (smile)
This is not homework... I am the acting system administrator (newbie) at a Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh, NC.
I need this file to help the business office compare a list of students who have pre-registered for classes to a list of students who have been awarded financial aid. This way they will know which students have enough aid to pay for classes without manually researching each students account.
Again, thanks again for your reply.

combine
COMBINE(1) COMBINE(1)
NAME
combine - combine sets of lines from two files using boolean operations
SYNOPSIS
combine file1 and file2
combine file1 not file2
combine file1 or file2
combine file1 xor file2
_ file1 and file2 _
_ file1 not file2 _
_ file1 or file2 _
_ file1 xor file2 _
DESCRIPTION
combine combines the lines in two files. Depending on the boolean operation specified, the contents will be combined in different ways:
and Outputs lines that are in file1 if they are also present in file2.
not Outputs lines that are in file1 but not in file2.
or Outputs lines that are in file1 or file2.
xor Outputs lines that are in either file1 or file2, but not in both files.
"-" can be specified for either file to read stdin for that file.
The input files need not be sorted, and the lines are output in the order they occur in file1 (followed by the order they occur in file2
for the two "or" operations). Bear in mind that this means that the operations are not commutative; "a and b" will not necessarily be the
same as "b and a". To obtain commutative behavior sort and uniq the result.
Note that this program can be installed as "_" to allow for the syntactic sugar shown in the latter half of the synopsis (similar to the
test/[ command). It is not currently installed as "_" by default, but you can alias it to that if you like.
