Hi guys,
I am stuck on a simple issue but couldn't find a simple solution. If you have any ideas please help.
I have two files : -
FILE1
Tue 09/12 Lindsey
Wed 09/13 Randy
Thu 09/14 Susan
Fri 09/15 Randy
Sat 09/16 Lindsey
Sun 09/17 Susan
FILE2
Fri
09/12
Sat
09/13
I want to grep all the lines from FILE1 which contain the pattern in FILE2 and in the same order of FILE2
I tried ' grep -f FILE2 FILE1'
The output is -
Tue 09/12 Lindsey
Wed 09/13 Randy
Fri 09/15 Randy
Sat 09/16 Lindsey
I am getting all the desired lines from FILE1 but NOT in the order present in FILE2.
Required OUTPUT is : -
Fri 09/15 Randy
Tue 09/12 Lindsey
Sat 09/16 Lindsey
Wed 09/13 Randy
Please help if u have some simple solution. Thanks in advance.
