I have two files - in each file is two column and many rows.. I need to update information from second file and overwrite it in first file.
For example:
File1: File2
A 1 B 7
B 2 C 8
C 3 D 9
D 4 E 10
E 5 H 1
F 6 I 7
G 7
And I need to add new values from second file and update existing values:
Final_file:
A 1
B 7
C 8
D 9
E 10
F 6
G 7
H 1
I 7
I hope my question is clear. Important is, that both file doesnt have the same number of rows and rows are not matching.
I was try something like this :
awk 'NR==FNR { a[$1]=$2; next} $1 in a {print $0, a[$1]}' File1 File2
but ouput are just matching columns:
B 2 7
C 3 8
D 4 9
E 5 10
Can anybody please help fix my code to keep all informations update!!
Thank you so much for nay help!
you don't need check if
$1 in a
. because you just want to simply overwrite the data if$1
was already ina
.so, just overwrite it.
