what is your required output..???

Code:
$ join file1 file2
xx1 y1 y2 z1
xx2 y1 y2 z2
xx3 y1 y2 z3

and why you are not using my awk command?

Code:
nawk 'FNR==NR{a[$1]=$0;next}{if(a[$1]){print a[$1],$2}}' file1 file2

Yes I need output with rows from both files with similar first column
I am using awk but if I right if statement it gives me no output at all
after this statement {a[$1]=$0;next} if doesnt see this array anymore

join file1 file2 will solve your purpose...

if join is not working give me your input file.
For your previous input files awk is working for me..Smilie
