Hi NetWallah, I really like the code that you wrote. However It is not printout out the way I want.

Currently, it finds the line "NAME" if match then merge the content. however, I want to separate two files and just merge unmatched

line/content "NAME" that is in file 2 to file#1. If the line "NAME" match ignore the content of the lines. can I print the result to a

file and not on the display only?

For example:(ignore the content, if line "NAME, VAR1, VAR2" match) 

File 1:
NAME, VAR1, VAR2
apple, mange

File 2:
NAME, VAR1, VAR2
jack fruit, banana
