Did you do the same to file1?
Did you specified NEW/converted files on the awk's cli?
Looks like you have a trailing , in file1?

Also, please get accustomed to used code tags in your posts!

Sorry, new to the forum. I will respect the code tags moving forward.

Yes, I formatted both files and used them with the same command shown

PLEASE become way more stringent, disciplined when posting your requests:
- "FILE1" is NOT the same as "file1" in IT terms (admittedly beyond MS something)
- stick to the samples once given! your recent samples don't match the ones you gave in the first place. Nobody in here could follow you complaining on output that came from nowhere.

- USE code tags to enhance readabilty of your code and data; don't rely on the moderators to do it for you! You may receive infractions soon if you continue to resist.

This was the output using the command that you supplied, it appended NA at the beginning of every line and made 0 matches
No surprise - there are NO matches! Please revisit your data.

It's hard to see without proper formatting/code tags, but I think your file1 is missing a field. Compare your recent version of file1 to the one you posted originally in post#1
