Scrutinzer's suggestion produced exactly your desired output when I ran it with your samples. Did you use different samples? Why, then, didn't you post them and show us which output lines were missing?

Code:
ftp02$ less /tmp/b_file
11977 DAR.V3.20150209.1.CSV
11977 DDR.V2.20150209.1.CSV
3295 DAR.V3.20150209.1.CSV

What exactly is this file for? Where/how is it produced? Does it need to persist or is it a temp file?

Hi all,
Is this clear, or am I still confusing everyone/anyone? I realize I am potentially annoying everyone with this problem.
The confusion is due to the unprecise specification / problem statement, unclear logics as well as missing or incomplete error messages.
Describe the request, backed by input and desired output samples, and the logics behind it in simple words. On top, you should accept/consider proposals that dismiss your approach and present their own with a correct result.
