Hello all, I am not a programmer, but I require a little help with a project I am doing. I did read several posts and looks like awk or python may help me, though I know very little about using them. Here is my question: I have first file with 6 column.
My second file is very similar to the first one, but it may or may not have the same Column 2(SNP). I suspect that the columns Col 3 and 4 (A1 & A2) may be different as well.
What I require is to get an output file with columns 1,2,3, 4, 5, 6 from the first file and the corresponding line that matches column 2 (SNP) of the FIRST file with the columns 2,3,4,5,6 (SNP, A1, A2, MAF, NCHROBS) from SECOND file at positions 7,8,9,10,11,2. The output file will hence have 11 columns; the first 6 from file 1.txt and the matching last five from file 2.txt
Thank you for reading
Thanks a lot Ripat and tyler_durden.
The awk command worked like a charm.
Can you help me with one more little detail.
Here is my sample file from the previous step:
I want the awk command to read col 3 and then look for that value in Col 8 and 9 on the same row . If it does not find the value in Col 8 and 9, then write the value of Col 2 to the output file output.txt
I am trying to learn the NR==FNR thingy.. until I grasp that.. kindly help.
This is what I came up with, but not sure if it is correct!
