Re: Extract common lines from 2 files

I can do this in Unix using grep -Fx. But it fails in windows as hamilton grep does not have this option.

Ditch "hamilton grep" asap, use GNU grep.

I had a very similar question the other day. You can find my complete code on the last post of this thread. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=968493 The cpan utility I used is here. (though there is a way to use grep) http://search.cpan.org/dist/Array-Utils/Utils.pm Basically you need to open each file and read them into separate arrays. Then cycle through and find the matches.
