Hey There,

Do you have a skeleton of a script. Just whatever you tried that isn't working? If you post that here, more folks are likely to respond and get you to the answer you need quickly.

Best wishes,

Mike

have you read the line i gave about while loops? pseudocode.
Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. while read -r name number
  2. do
  3.      while read -r NAME NUM
  4.      do
  5.          if NAME is equal name
  6.          then
  7.               echo name NUM number         
  8.      done < "file2"
  9. done < "file1"
