How about this:

Code:
INDEX=$1
INDEX_FILE=$2
MERGE_FILE=$3
INCLUDE=${4:-.*}
EXCLUDE=${5:-}
 
awk -vIDX="$INDEX" -vO="$INCLUDE" -vN="$EXCLUDE" '
FNR==1 {
   split(O, hm)
   split(N, skip)
   split("", p)
   for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) {
       if ($i==IDX) keypos=i
       if ($i in have) continue;
       for (t in hm) {
           x=nul
           if (!($i in p) && match($i, hm[t])) {
               for(x in skip) if (match($i, skip[x])) break;
               if (x&&match($i, skip[x])) continue;
               o[++headers]=$i
               p[i]=headers
               have[$i]
               break
           }
       }
   }
   next;
}
keypos { for(c in p) {K[$keypos]; OUT[$keypos,p[c]]= $(c) } }
END {
    $0=""
    for(i=1;i<=headers;i++) $i=o[i]
    print
    $0=""
    for(key in K) {
    for(i=1;i<=headers;i++) $i=OUT[key,i]
    print
    }
}' FS='\t' OFS='\t' $INDEX_FILE $MERGE_FILE

Called like this data_merge_awk.sh index_key index_file merge_file [fields] [exclude]

fields defaults to ".*"
exclude defaults to ""

So to dump all fields except those starting with R do:
Code:
# ./data_merge_awk.sh MDL_NUMBER index_file merge_file ".*" "^R" > outfile

The input field separator in awk is called "FS".

Thanks Scrutinizer - Updated above code for FS= (not IFS=)
