Re: Looping two files differently

Do you have some example data of the files you are working with? Are you looking for exact matches, or will you want to be able to specify regex type patterns to match? Will the entire line match, or do you just need to find the target anywhere in the line?

Cheers,
R.

HI Random_Walk, yes you are right about the exact matches, i am just looking for a word that matched in a line of files. Example of the element that i am looking for in a file `hlkout` [download] Example of the line that matched the element `.hlkout(hi_lkout[15:0])` [download] from the line that matched my regex, i would further do some processing on it, to get something else like for this example i will be using the hi_lkout for another purpose which i dont describe here...

from the line that matched my regex, i would further do some processing on it, to get something else like for this example i will be using the hi_lkout for another purpose which i dont describe here...
