Re^2: print data with matching id from two different files

Please excuse me I forgot to mention that I removed semicolon and inverted commas using awk. So my written code is for a file3 without semicolon and inverted commas.Yes,there is tab in file3.

In that case the likely problem is here: `open FILE3, "< file3" or die; while (<FILE2>) {` [download] As you can clearly see, you open FILE3 but try to read from FILE2 which is not opened. Running your code gives you this warning: `Name "main::FILE2" used only once: possible typo at 1202408.pl line 14.` which should have alerted you to this. Always address the warnings.
