Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear all,

I have a specific problem that i cannot solve and I hope someone here can help me.

I have two text files with one column of values.
Example:

File1:

Code:

67        
94                     
95                     
.
.

File2

Code:

0.1
0.003
0.5
.
.

File1 contains the row numbers that value I need from File2. For example the output should be like this:

Theoretical outfile:

Code:

0.4 (row 67 from File2)
0.5 (row 94 from File2)
0.1 (row 95 from File2)
etc...

Is it possible to do this with awk?

I would really appritiate if someone can help me.

Thanks,
Laszlo
