Recursive delete in a file using a set of values in other file
Hi,

I have got a file with 6K records and I want to delete 500 records from this file which match the values present in another file.
Format of the both the files is different.

Example : File 1 record

Code:
CCCCCC    11292562ABCDEF MBR/PSF6/108100502/BEN01XXX XXX

Example : File 2 record
Code:
11292562

I need help to write a script that reads the value from File 2 , search and delete that record in file 1

Thanks.

It would seem that:
Code:
grep -vFf  "File 2" "File 1"

would be a good starting point. Of course, if you only want to look for the "File 2" records at a particular point in a "File 1" record, it will be more complicated than that.
