Hi, I'm very much a beginner.
Could anyone point me in the right direction on how to accomplish the following, please? I have a fairly long log file call it file A, it has around 20,000 lines of three element space separated variables. File A looks like:- 55223 jimmy smith 55224 davy crocket 55227 walter mitty 63256 mickey mouse .. I also have a .txt file with around 600 of the numbers found in file A. Cal that File B. File B looks like:- 63256 55223 .. I need to (quickly as possible) remove all the lines from File A, whose numbers can be found in File B. Now, I have this working just fine in Windows Powershell, but it really slow, as I am foreaching file b into a where-object filter, it works but takes minutes to run. Based on my limited exposure to perl, I'm pretty certain that TMTOWTDI !!
