awk read one delimited file, search another delimited file
Hello folks, I have another doozy. I have two files. The first file has four fields in it. These four fields map to different locations in my second file. What I want to do is read the master file (file 2 - 23 fields) and compare each line against each record in file 1. If I get a match in all four fields, I want to toss that record out.

Code:
File1:
Group|Cur_ID|Cur_Name|Hostname
  1     8        9     13 (where they map in file2)  

File2:
Group|OldID|Old_Name|Old_Sess|Old_Sess_Date|Old_Type|Old_UID|Cur_ID|Cur_Name|Cur_Sess|Cur_Sess_Date|Cur_Type|Hostname|Acct|MRR|ASR|BE|CD|Cur_UID|Fld20|Fld21|Fld22|Fld23

I gave a sample of what the headers would basically be for all the fields, but the idea is the same as i'm more concerned with matching fields up as the values change for each record.

regexp::common::delimited5.18

Regexp::Common::delimited(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Regexp::Common::delimited(3)

NAME

       Regexp::Common::delimited -- provides a regex for delimited strings

SYNOPSIS

	   use Regexp::Common qw /delimited/;

	   while (<>) {
	       /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}/  and print 'a " delimited string';
	       /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}/  and print 'a / delimited string';
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   $RE{delimited}{-delim}{-esc}
       Returns a pattern that matches a single-character-delimited substring, with optional internal escaping of the delimiter.

       When "-delim=S" is specified, each character in the sequence S is a possible delimiter. There is no default delimiter, so this flag must
       always be specified.

       If "-esc=S" is specified, each character in the sequence S is the delimiter for the corresponding character in the "-delim=S" list.  The
       default escape is backslash.

       For example:

	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}		 # match "a " delimited string"
	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}{-esc=>'"'} # match "a "" delimited string"
	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}		 # match /a / delimited string/
	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>q{'"}} 	 # match "string" or 'string'

       Under "-keep" (See Regexp::Common):

       $1  captures the entire match

       $2  captures the opening delimiter (provided only one delimiter was specified)

       $3  captures delimited portion of the string (provided only one delimiter was specified)

       $4  captures the closing delimiter (provided only one delimiter was specified)

   $RE{quoted}{-esc}
       A synonym for $RE{delimited}{q{-delim='"`}{...}}
