in reply to comparing two fasta files
That's it. You just need to work out how to read a record at a time, how identify and capture the "name" part of each record using a regex, and how to use a hash. The resources cited in the first reply will be helpful.open the first file (the one with 1000-something names) while reading one record at a time save the "name" part of the line is as a "hash key" open the second file while reading one record at a time check for the "name" portion (e.g. use a regular expression to "capture" the name) if the name exists as a key in the hash, print this record
Try it out, and if you have trouble with code you've tried, show us the code. You'll learn more that way.
