Find string in one file and manipulate other
hi,

I have 2 files delimited by "|"

File 1:
HTML Code:
1|28|ABC|11|9620034||XXX555|
29|22|ABC|11|9620258||XXX555|
51|26|ABC|11|9620314||XXX555|
77|20|ABC|11|9630506||XXX555|
97|36|ABC|11|9630562||XXX555|
File 2:
HTML Code:
9620028|I
9620034|I
9620314|S
9620332|I
9620258|I
9630506|S
9630562|S
9631795|I
9640217|S
9640232|I
Now, For each 1st field in File 2
if found in field 5 of file 1,
place the 2nd field of File 2 into last field of File 1 to look like:

Result:
HTML Code:
1|28|ABC|11|9620034||XXX555|I|
29|22|ABC|11|9620258||XXX555|I|
51|26|ABC|11|9620314||XXX555|I|
77|20|ABC|11|9630506||XXX555|S|
97|36|ABC|11|9630562||XXX555|S|
How can I do this ? Thanks in advance.

Code:
awk -F'|' 'FNR==NR {a[i]=$1; b[i]=$2; i++} {for(x in a){if($5==a[x]){print $0 b[x] "|"}}}' file2 file1

If, like the sample data, each file is sorted on the joining field:
Code:
join -t \| -1 5 -2 1 -o 1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6,1.7,2.2,2.3 file1 file2

Regards,
Alister
