Hi,
I am using Sun Solaris - SunOS. I have two fixed width files shown below. I am trying to find the changes in the records in the Newfile.txt for the records where the key column matches. The first column is a key column (example: A123).
If there are any new or deletion of records in the Newfile, I do NOT want that in the output.
All I am try to achieve is the output of the changed records where the key column matches.
File1:OldFile.txt
Code:
A123 Sim Firstname1 Lastname1 123 JESSE DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail@YAHOO.COM
B234 TWD Firstname2 Lastname2 123 FORTHILL1 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail2@YAHOO.COM
C567 TWD Firstname3 Lastname3 123 FORTHILL2 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail3@YAHOO.COM
D89012 TWD Firstname3 Lastname3 123 FORTHILL2 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail3@YAHOO.COM
File2:NewFile.txt
Code:
A123 Sim UpdatedNewFirstName1 UpdatedNewLastname1 123 JESSE DR. Atlanta GA32839 sampleemail@YAHOO.COM
B234 TWD Firstname2 Lastname2 123 FORTHILL1 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail2@YAHOO.COM
C5676 TWD Firstname3 Lastname3 123 FORTHILL2 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail3@YAHOO.COM
Z12345 TWD Firstname3 Lastname4 123 FORTHILL2 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail3@YAHOO.COM
So in above example: Output would be as shown below. The UpdatedNewFirstName1 and UpdatedNewLastname1 for key A123 is changed. A123 Sim UpdatedNewFirstName1 UpdatedNewLastname1 123 JESSE DR. Atlanta GA32839 sampleemail@YAHOO.COM
and ignore the two records below: D89012 TWD Firstname3 Lastname3 123 FORTHILL2 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail3@YAHOO.COM-- This record dropped in new file. I do not want this in my output.
Z12345 TWD Firstname3 Lastname4 123 FORTHILL2 DR. Atlanta GA32839 Sampleemail3@YAHOO.COM -- This record added in new file. I do not want this either.
PS: Please ignore the format of the files as I created a sample file above, which might be slightly off.
All I need a CHANGED records where the first field keys matches.
Thanks

Reason: Change HTML tags to CODE tags and remove EMAIL tags.
Since you're using a Solaris/SunOS system, you'll need to use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk instead of awk. I don't see the need for the three arrays that rdrtx1 used... I think the following should run a tiny bit faster and use less memory while it is running:
Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '
NR == FNR {
for(i = 2; i <= NF; i++)
f1[$1] = f1[$1] SUBSEP $i
next
}
$1 in f1 {
f2 = ""
for(i = 2; i <= NF; i++)
f2 = f2 SUBSEP $i
if(f1[$1] != f2)
print
}' OldFile.txt NewFile.txt
