in thread comparing an ID fom one file to the records in the second file

Quite likely, I didn't test it, and said "don't copy this" ... was just correcting some errors I saw in the OP. As you know well this is not the right solution to begin with. I'll update my node, thanks.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
