in reply to Compare Arrays, Return Values

I would like to search the file with both values and return a version of the file missing the numeric field that has the numeric field and the alpha-numeric field.
That statement is giving me a headache. ;-)

Please provide samples of the two files and a sample of what you want the final output to look like and the code that you tried but are having trouble with. Then it will be easier for folks here to help you.

    I'm very sorry for any confusion. I realize that I probably was not succinct in my posting. An example of the data from the first file would be:

    Product # Prod Name Univers ID

    A101 something 123

    A102 else 456

    A103 it 789

    A104 the 012

    An example of data from the second file would be

    Product # Product Name Univers ID

    A102 else

    A103 it

    An example of the file that I want to generate would be:

    Product # Product Name Univers ID

    A102 else 456

    A103 it 789

    Does this make more sense? Again, I apologize for not being more clear. I'm an obvious perl novice and am trying to get my head around the language. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
