Hi Rudi,

I have exceuted the same command that you have provided.
Code:
awk -F"[\| ]*" 'NR==FNR {if ($3=="N") T[$2]; next} ($2 in T) {next} 1' file1.txt file2.txt > new.txt

but its giving me output same as the content of file2 not the required one



Thanks
Ankita

If the files you posted and I tested with are identical to your actual file1.txt and file2.txt, one possible error cause could be awk versions. What system are you on, and which awk version do you use?

Hi

awk version is GNU Awk 3.1.5

here again the files are- there is no space between the columns and columns are separeted with "|"
file1.txt
Code:
4001|Y
4221|Y
282501|Y
933502|N
933505|N

file2.txt
Code:
15114933|4001
15291649|933502
15764675|4316
15764678|4316
15761974|282501
15673104|933505
15673577|933505
15673098|933505
15673096|933505
15673092|933505
15760705|4221
15760704|4221
15764676|4316

output should look like
Code:
15114933|4001
15764675|4316
15764678|4316
15761974|282501
15760705|4221
15760704|4221

Sorry, I can't help further. You need to analyze the script running, e.g. put print statements in at some places to see where it misbehaves...
