Find duplicate value comparing 2 files and create an output

I need a perl script which will create an output file after comparing two diff file in a directory path:
/export/home/abc/file1
/export/home/abc/file2

File Format: <IP>TAB<DeviceName><TAB>DESCRIPTIONS

file1:
10.1.2.1.3<tab>abc123def<tab>xyz.mm1.ppp.
#10.1.2.1.4<tab>abc345def<tab>xyz.mm2.ppp2.
10.1.2.1.5<tab>abc567def<tab>xyz.mm4.ppp3.
10.1.2.1.6<tab>abc789def<tab>xyz.mm5.ppp6.
#10.1.2.1.7<tab>abc009def<tab>xyz.mm9.ppp7

file2:

10.1.2.1.3<tab>abc123def<tab>xyz.mm1.ppp.
#10.1.2.1.4<tab>abc345def<tab>xyz.mm2.ppp2.
10.1.2.1.5<tab>abc009def<tab>xyz.mm7.ppp9
10.1.2.1.6<tab>abc567def<tab>xyz.mm4.ppp3.
#10.1.2.1.9<tab>abc009def<tab>xyz.mm9.ppp7

If IP and Device name both are match on both file1 and file2 then Out put file would say “duplicate IP and device found”. If just duplicate IP and or device found the output file will indicate “duplicate IP found” or “duplicate device found”

I don't care 3rd column; the script will look for match in 1st and/or 2nd column and must not ignore IP which has "#" in front of it.


OUTPUT:

Duplicate IP and device found:

10.1.2.1.3<tab>abc123def
#10.1.2.1.4<tab>abc345def

Duplicate IP Found:

10.1.2.1.6
10.1.2.1.5

Duplicate Device found
abc009def

Thank you very much. btw, this is not a home work.

try awk:
Code:
awk ' FILENAME=="file1" { arr[$1 $2]=$1 " " $2; arrip[$1]=$1; arrdev[$2]=$2
      }
      FILENAME=="file2" {
         if($1 ~ /^#/) {$1=substr($1,2)}
      	 if(arr[$1 $2]> " ") { print "Duplicate ip and device found", arr[$1 $2]
      	                  continue}
      	 if(arrip[$1]>" ") {print "Duplicate ip found",arrip[$1]
      	                continue}
      	 if(arrdev[$2]>" ") {print "Duplicate device found", arrdev[$2]}
      }
      ' file1 file2

Output based on your files:
Quote:
csadev:/home/jmcnama> t.awk
Duplicate ip and device found 10.1.2.1.3 abc123def
Duplicate device found abc345def
Duplicate ip found 10.1.2.1.5
Duplicate ip found 10.1.2.1.6
Duplicate device found abc009def

Find duplicate value comparing 2 files and create an output

Thanks, but I am facing complicated situation.
There are multiple files:

1. filenane.xxx
2. finename.abcnnxyz


So the scripts needs to compare filenane.xxx files with finename.abcnnxyz files.

In other works, compare all files filenane.xxx with finename.abcnnxyz look for duplciates. There are 15/20 diff filenane.xxx type of files and may be 10/15 finename.abcnnxyz of files.


Thanks.
