question using grep with files

hi,

i'm trying to figure out how to use grep in different ways in bash..

lets say you have two files, one with a list of words and the other with text

i want to go through the list of words in one file and for each word, find every occurrence of that word in the other file and display that entire line

i was playing around with diff but can't seem to figure this one out..

can anyone help me out please?

thanks in advance

kratos.

Code:

grep -f listofwords.txt  bigfile.txt

You need to read the man pages or info pages on grep.
