Hello, I need help in building a logic for below scenario. I am using PERL to read 2 files which have 4 and 2 elements as below. I need to read each line from File1 and compare if “code” exists in both files. If code exists in both files, I need to display all the line elements of file1 along with its “description”. Can you please share some thoughts? Thanks in advance. File1:
Testname, code, date, file Test1, 4, 4/11/15, /tmp Test2, 2, 4/11/15, /log Test3, 1, 4/11/15, /log
File2:
Code: description 1: Generic user error 2: Error with file location 3: File not found 4: Syntax error
