If I will do it separately for all the 20 strings...and then concatenate or merge the 20 different files of a single file..it would be quite cumbersome....so i was looking for the help if I could do it in a same script.

hmm lets try thisSmilie
Code:
paste list1 list2|while read f1 f2 ; do 
for string in ALA VAL #-> (20 strings will be here)  
do awk 'NR==1{s=$20;next}$5==s&&$2=="'$string'"{a[i++]=$4};
END{for(j=0;j<i-1;j++){printf "%s",a[j]"\t"}{printf "%s",a[j]"\n"}}' $f1 $f2>${string}_${f1%.*}_OUT
done; done

regards
