if you count/sum only the A B C D ... it is normal to get FILE_NAME A B C D CHECK 2 3 2 1 JAPAN A is in FILE_A and FILE_B so 2 times CHINA B is in FILE_A (twice) and FILE_B so 3 times MALY C is in FILE_A and FILE_B so 2 times if you don't want to count/sum after the first time, tou have to test the exists before.

Hi, JAPAN A exists in FILE_A and FILE_B, so the count is 2 but i want JAPAN A to be displayed as 1 because it appears in both files Example: I want the output as: `FILE NAME A B C D CHECK 1 2 1 1` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

but i want It's not of much help to repeat what you want, but leave the information out what you are doing right now. Your code obviously has a bug if it doesn't do what you want it to do, but no one can find it without a look at what you are doing right now.	[reply]
