Hi,
I have two text files
file 1 with N lines
The text in the first column is unique for each row and alphabetically sorted A->Z.
file 2 with M lines (M>=N)
The text in the first column is unique for each row.
What I would like to obtain is file 3 containing only the rows of file 2 with an "column1 entry" in file 1 and sorted as they appear in file 1.
If the entry is not present I would like to have a warning message (as below).
file 3 with N lines
Do you have any suggestion?
Many thanks,
