I must have completely misunderstood what zozoo wanted to do. I thought that given the files list and file1 specified in the first message, you wanted output that looked like:
Code:
06/01 3:14 d378299
06/01 8:10 d642036
06/01 10:51 d600441 found
06/01 10:52 d600441 found
06/01 11:11 d607339 found
06/01 11:49 d398706

If that is what you wanted, I got the above output by running the awk command:
Code:
awk 'FNR==NR {list[$1]
        next }
$3 in list {
        print $0, "found"
        next }
        {print}
' list file1
