thanks Sir RudiC.

what's the meaning of this? specially on the substring part?
Code:
awk 'NR == FNR {T[substr($1, 5, 7)] = $1; next} !($1$2 in T)

substr() is a built-in function in AWK, to extract a consecutive sequence of characters from inside a string.

substr($1, 5, 7) extracts from field 1, 7 characters, starting at character 5.

Code:
NR == FNR   ## Apply the action to only the lines from first file
{T[substr($1, 5, 7)] = $1;...}  ## Create an associative array which index is the return from substr(), and the value is the first field.
{...; next}  ## Skip to next line

Code:
!($1$2 in T)  ## execute {...} for any line from second file if the concatenation of field one and two is not an index found in the associative array T.
