Comparing 2 column of a file with the lines in another file
Hi
I have 2 files which are tab delimited.
Code:
file1
chr1 5 10 P1 KR4
chr1 10 20 1H LA1 R0 TA1

Code:
file2
P1 G6 13.27 0.2425
P1 KR4 18.79 0.3060
P1 DND1 19.44 0.2833
N1 DH1 0.99 1.08
1H R0 0.9 NA
LA1 R0 90 0.9
TA1 KR4 1.8 8.9
TA1 R0 9.7 99

I want to check whether first 2 columns in file2 (column 1 and 2 together) present in file 1 (after 3rd column) if they are present print the output something like this
Code:
output:
chr1 5 10 P1 KR4 18.79 0.3060
chr1 100 200 1H R0 0.9 NA
chr1 100 200 LA1 R0 90 0.9
chr1 100 200 TA1 R0 9.7 99

Code:
Note: TA1   KR4    1.8 8.9 is not present because they are not together in the same line.
