I need advice from someone out there for the following situtation.
I have two large files each contains 3 fields separted by
white space. Both files are sorted. I will get the input
from the user for the field 1 and field 2. Then, I have
to go find the record(s) that match the given inputs in
both files. Then I have to compare both files using third
field and finds the unique record.
Is it a good idea to use find or grep command of unix instead
of writting a search routine. Or is there a function in C which
would do the search automatically?
Any help or advice will be appreciated. Thanx in advance.
