Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am not sure if this has already been asked (I tried the search but the search was too broad). Basically I want to remove rows based on another file.

So file1 looks like this (tab seperated):

Code:

HHN  3  5  5
HUJ   2  2  1
JJJ     3  1  1
JUN   2  1  3

I have another file (file2) that looks like this:

Code:

HHN 
HUJ 
JUN

Basically I want to remove the names from file2 in file1

So the output (output file) would look like this:

Code:

HHN  3  5  5
HUJ   2  2  1
JUN   2  1  3

if anyone could help me or assist me with a previous post then it would be great.

Code:

grep -f file2 file1

Files should be sorted

Code:

join file1 file2
