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.
while read -r name number
do
while read -r NAME NUM
do
if NAME is equal name
then
echo name NUM number
done < "file2"
done < "file1" Python tutorial | PHP manual | Learn Bash scripting | Perl documentation | UNIX shell scripting resource|Tcl tutorial | Regular Expressions
