This should be simple, but being a newbie the syntax escapes me...

I have two files, the first, "vuln_cvd_map" is just a csv file that contains an integer id number, then a CVE id number.
The second is just another two column csv file that contains a CVE Id number and a summary description of the vulnerability.

The input is the integer id number which I find in the first file, return the CVE id, and look that up in the second file, finally return the summary description.

As always, thanks for your patience... Scott
