I want to do the following and would really appreciate if someone can help me accomplish this:
I have 2 tab-delim files named File1.txt and File2.txt(shown below). If the 2nd column (integer) in File1.txt is found in 3rd column (integer) of File2.txt then i want to make new_File1.txt and new_File2.txt and keep appending the rows.
File1.txt:
1 80 xyc
1 304 xyv
1 813653 xyb
1 813661 xyn
1 954653 xym
File2.txt:
abvb 1 178
aaa 1 304
ttt 1 353
ggg 1 98971
ghj 1 813653
So for example my new_File1.txt will look like:
new_File1.txt:
1 304 xyv
1 813653 xyb
new_File2.txt:
aaa 1 304
ghj 1 813653
Thank you all for your help! I have used :
join -1 2 -2 3 -t '\t' file1.txt file2.txt
but it gives me the following output:
\1 80 xyc\abvb 1 178
\1 80 xyc\aaa 1 304
\1 80 xyc\ttt 1 353
\1 80 xyc\ggg 1 98971
\1 80 xyc\ghj 1 813653
\1 304 xyv\abvb 1 178
\1 304 xyv\aaa 1 304
\1 304 xyv\ttt 1 353
\1 304 xyv\ggg 1 98971
\1 304 xyv\ghj 1 813653
\1 813653 xyb\abvb 1 178
\1 813653 xyb\aaa 1 304
\1 813653 xyb\ttt 1 353
\1 813653 xyb\ggg 1 98971
\1 813653 xyb\ghj 1 813653
\1 813661 xyn\abvb 1 178
\1 813661 xyn\aaa 1 304
\1 813661 xyn\ttt 1 353
\1 813661 xyn\ggg 1 98971
\1 813661 xyn\ghj 1 813653
\1 954653 xym\abvb 1 178
\1 954653 xym\aaa 1 304
\1 954653 xym\ttt 1 353
\1 954653 xym\ggg 1 98971
\1 954653 xym\ghj 1 813653
