I have File1
and File2
as below. I found similar questions but not quite the same.
Use File1
rows as input for grep
and extract 1st column of File2
. In below toy example, if column2 in File2
equals to a
or b
then write 1
to File_ab
.
So far I am using double loop, and estimated time is 4 days. I was hoping to get something like: cat File1 | xargs -P 12 -exec grep "$1\|$2" File2 > File_$1$2.txt
But failed to get the syntax right. I am trying to run 12 greps
in parallel with OR
condition.
File1
a b
c d
File2
1 a
2 b
3 c
1 d
4 a
5 e
6 d
Desired output is 2 files, File_ab and File_cd:
File_ab
1
2
4
File_cd
1
3
6
Note: My File1
is 25K rows, and File2
is 10Mln rows.
