Oracle How to append two files(file1 and file2) Please help me?
Hi

I have two files file1 and file2
File1 10,000 entries:It has 3 columns below.
Code:
conn=232257   client=xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:60491  protocol=LDAP

File2 has 500 entries It has two columns.
Code:
conn=232257   dn="uid=xxxx,ou=xxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxx"
conn=232398 dn="uid=yyyy,ou=yyyyy,ou=yyyyy,dc=yyyy,dc=yyy"

Output file should be like below with four columns: If first column matches between file1 and file2 then shell command should add column-2 from file-2 to file-1 as column-4. Sorry for confusion. Output should be like this.

O/p:

Code:
conn=232257   client=xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:60491  protocol=LDAP  dn="uid=xxxx,ou=xxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxx"

This should be easily done with awk.
With 31 posts already, how far have you gotten in your implementation AND where exactly are you stuck?
Please show the effort!

Hi Vgersh

Sorry i did't get my expected results after running your command which you posted. Can you please look in to my requirement which i posted with example.

I need 4 coulms in my output file like below.

Code:
conn=232257  client=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:51237 protocol=LDAP    dn="uid=xxxx,ou=xxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxxx,dc=xxx"

given file1:
Code:
conn=232257   client=xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:60491  protocol=LDAP

and file2:
Code:
conn=232257   dn="uid=xxxx,ou=xxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxx"
conn=232398 dn="uid=yyyy,ou=yyyyy,ou=yyyyy,dc=yyyy,dc=yyy"

running the following:
Code:
awk 'NR==FNR {h[$1] = $2; next} {print $0,h[$1]}' file2 file1

produces the following output:
Code:
conn=232257   client=xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:60491  protocol=LDAP dn="uid=xxxx,ou=xxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxx"

What's wrong with this output?
What do you get? And how's that different from the output above?
Please be as specific as possible AND use code tags when posting your code and/or data samples.
