in reply to Re^2: How to do a reciprocal matching statement
in thread How to do a reciprocal matching statement
I hope you understand what I'm saying. If not, you can ask for clarification.
But more importantly, see if you can provide a fairly simple, direct description of the task you are trying to accomplish: "(A) There are (how many?) different types of input files - here are brief examples of the content for each type: ... (B) Given these inputs, there's this particular type of match that I need to locate: ... (C) Each time I locate this sort of match, there's this particular information that needs to be output: ...." -- or something to that effect.
If you can't figure out how to express your task in a simple example, it's much harder for us to help you. But if you can do that, it should help you to get a fresh start on your script. (The OP script is unlikely to be a good starting point.)
