Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I tried Richard's 'Process
Duplicate lines' solution and it worked. It requires both files to
have only word on each line, but I was fortunately able to finagle
that. I did it with 'Leaving One' and 'duplicate lines to new
document' checked, and the result was a new document showing me a
list of words that appeared in both the original documents (and thus
appeared twice in the spliced document).

Err... how about de-duping each individual file, and then splicing
the two files together and then using the 'Process Duplicate
lines..' with 'Matching all', 'Delete duplicate lines' and 'Unique
lines to new document' options selected - result - two documents:
one with all the words that are in both (duplicated) and one with
one with all the words that aren't. Or have I missed what you wanted?

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
