Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.hey guys, I have two files both with two columns, I have already created an awk code to ignore certain lines (e.g lines that start with 963) as they wou ld begin with a certain string, however, the rest I have added together and calculated the average. At the moment the code also displays the two files in one list showing just the lines it used to calculate the average. e.g FILE1 812353124 54 812535352 55 864235235 99 963352351 35 FILE2 812353124 75 815342325 93 864235235 52 963546253 46 *** output on screen 812353124 54 812535352 55 864235235 99 812353124 75 815342325 93 864235235 52 Average: <number calculated> *** What I want to do now though is to compare each line on both files, and if t he first column of a line matches one in the second file, it will print a th ird column with that file. If one line doesn't match in the other file, the third column will have a * on that line. Example of output 812353124 54 75 812535352 55 * 864235235 99 52 812353124 75 * 815342325 93 * as you can see, there are no doubles of lines that match in the first column .
