I've looked high and low but can't figure out how to easily do this: I
have two text files. In the first is a list of words (one word per
line), and for EACH of those words, I have to search and see if it
exists in the second text file. How can I automate this? (preferably
without reinventing the wheel) thanks very much,
Something like this might work
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
The simple shell script to search
'searchme' for each word in 'words' is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ for w in `cat words`; do echo ;
echo "$w:"; grep $w searchme; done
test:
is a test

nomatch:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat words
test
nomatch
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat searchme
this
is a test
