    Basic script

    I am completely new to this stuff and not quite sure what to search for on the Interwebs...

    I have 2 input files and I need to see if data in file1 is in file 2. I was searching on how to do a while loop but I can't seem to figure it out.

    An example would be file1 is a class roster and file2 would be a school roster. I need to parse the people from file1 that are in file2 into screen output or another file.

    Thanks
