Match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field

After leftover-box column, match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field with leftover-box join so leftover-box practice lists (and leftover-box echo drills) can line up on a shared leftover-box key. You do not need extra leftover-box system software for this.

Line leftover-box lists up in leftover-box columns asked leftover-box lists to leftover-box columns with printf 'a b c\nd e f\n' | column -t. Tonight is leftover-box matching: leftover-box join. Join means match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field. Night one prefers two tiny leftover-box practice files already leftover-box sorted on leftover-box field 1, then join ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt so leftover-box shared leftover-box keys line up (2 b x / 3 c y style), safe peek. Join prints leftover-box lines that share leftover-box key 2 and leftover-box key 3. Leftover-box key 1 lives only in the first leftover-box file. Leftover-box key 4 lives only in the second leftover-box file. Those leftover-box unmatched leftover-box keys stay out of leftover-box night-one print. That is not leftover-box paste. Paste joins leftover-box columns side by side line-by-line without leftover-box matching leftover-box keys. That is join leftover-box columns side by side. Skip leftover-box paste as tonight's job — leftover-box paste exists. That is not leftover-box column. Column pretty-prints leftover-box columns from leftover-box lines you already have. That is line leftover-box lists up in leftover-box columns. Skip leftover-box column as tonight's job — leftover-box column exists. That is not leftover-box cut. Cut pulls one leftover-box column out of a leftover-box line. That is pull one leftover-box column. Skip leftover-box cut as tonight's job — leftover-box cut exists. That is not leftover-box sort. Sort puts leftover-box lines in leftover-box order. Join needs leftover-box files already leftover-box sorted on the leftover-box join leftover-box field (default leftover-box field 1, leftover-box whitespace). That leftover-box sort is put leftover-box lines in order. Skip leftover-box sort as tonight's job — leftover-box sort exists. Tonight's leftover-box practice files are already leftover-box sorted. That is not leftover-box uniq. Uniq drops leftover-box duplicate leftover-box lines. That is drop leftover-box duplicate lines. Skip leftover-box uniq as tonight's job — leftover-box uniq exists. That is not leftover-box comm. Comm compares leftover-box sorted leftover-box lists. That is compare leftover-box sorted leftover-box lists. Skip leftover-box comm as tonight's job — leftover-box comm exists. That is not leftover-box awk, leftover-box SQL, or a leftover-box spreadsheet app. Night one is leftover-box join on two tiny leftover-box home files. That is not leftover-box fmt, leftover-box fold, leftover-box tr, leftover-box rev, leftover-box tac, leftover-box expand, leftover-box unexpand, or leftover-box shuf as the job either — those pages already exist. You are still only practicing in home. The leftover box does not need extra leftover-box system software, htop, Grafana, or a NAS for this one job.

What this is

join means match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field. You make two tiny leftover-box practice files, already leftover-box sorted on leftover-box field 1, then type join ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt. Join looks at leftover-box field 1 in both leftover-box files (leftover-box whitespace splits leftover-box fields). Shared leftover-box keys print. Leftover-box unmatched leftover-box keys stay out. Night one prefers that safe leftover-box peek: leftover-box keys 2 and 3 line up as leftover-box 2 b x and leftover-box 3 c y. After leftover-box column, this is match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field so leftover-box practice lists (and leftover-box echo drills) can line up on a shared leftover-box key. You do not need extra leftover-box system software for this. Both leftover-box files must already be leftover-box sorted on the leftover-box join leftover-box field. Default leftover-box join leftover-box field is leftover-box field 1. Leftover-box whitespace is the leftover-box split. If leftover-box files are leftover-box mixed leftover-box order, leftover-box join can miss leftover-box matches or leftover-box warn. Put leftover-box lines in leftover-box order first: put leftover-box lines in order. Skip leftover-box sort as tonight's job — leftover-box sort exists.

It is not leftover-box screen, leftover-box tmux, leftover-box script, leftover-box mesg, leftover-box wall, or leftover-box write as tonight's leftover-box job. Night one is match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field with two tiny leftover-box practice files, not leftover-box session school.

Practice leftover-box join in home

SSH in. Make sure home is where you are sitting:

pwd

You want a path that ends in your login name. If not:

cd ~

Make two tiny leftover-box practice files, already leftover-box sorted on leftover-box field 1:

printf '1 a\n2 b\n3 c\n' > ~/join-a.txt

printf '2 x\n3 y\n4 z\n' > ~/join-b.txt

Match leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field (night one job):

join ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt

You want leftover-box lines for leftover-box shared leftover-box keys 2 and 3 (leftover-box 2 b x then leftover-box 3 c y), then the prompt back. Leftover-box key 1 stays only in leftover-box join-a.txt. Leftover-box key 4 stays only in leftover-box join-b.txt. Join prints leftover-box matches. That is enough for night one. Practice only in home.

Both leftover-box files must already be leftover-box sorted on the leftover-box join leftover-box field. Default leftover-box join leftover-box field is leftover-box field 1. Leftover-box whitespace is the leftover-box split. Tonight's leftover-box practice files are already leftover-box sorted (1 then 2 then 3, and 2 then 3 then 4). Do not make leftover-box sort the leftover-box job. If leftover-box files later need leftover-box order, that is put leftover-box lines in order.

Debian and Ubuntu leftover-box usually already have leftover-box join (coreutils). Do not make leftover-box apt the job. If leftover-box join is somehow missing, optional aside:

sudo apt install coreutils

Then stop. That leftover-box apt line is not the leftover-box lesson.

When you are done looking, throw the leftover-box practice files away with careful leftover-box delete only. That is delete a leftover-box file carefully. Skip rm -rf.

rm -i ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt

Useful extras, still home only

Optional extra: leftover-box colon as leftover-box field split:

printf '1:a\n2:b\n3:c\n' > ~/join-a.txt

printf '2:x\n3:y\n4:z\n' > ~/join-b.txt

join -t : ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt

That peek tells leftover-box join to split leftover-box fields on leftover-box : instead of leftover-box whitespace. You want leftover-box 2:b:x then leftover-box 3:c:y. Do not make leftover-box -t : required. Night one can stay on leftover-box whitespace and leftover-box join ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt.

Optional extra: leftover-box unmatched leftover-box lines from leftover-box file 1:

join -a 1 ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt

That peek keeps leftover-box unmatched leftover-box keys from leftover-box file 1 (leftover-box key 1) plus leftover-box matches. Do not make leftover-box -a 1 required.

Optional extra: leftover-box output leftover-box fields with leftover-box -o:

join -o 1.1,1.2,2.2 ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt

That peek picks leftover-box field 1 from leftover-box file 1, leftover-box field 2 from leftover-box file 1, leftover-box field 2 from leftover-box file 2. Do not make leftover-box -o required. Night one can stay on leftover-box default leftover-box print.

Optional extra: leftover-box join then leftover-box head the first leftover-box lines:

join ~/join-a.txt ~/join-b.txt | head -n 2

That peek shows only the first two leftover-box matched leftover-box lines. Do not make leftover-box head required. Head is not tonight's leftover-box job.

Skip leftover-box huge leftover-box dumps as tonight's leftover-box job. Example leftover-box join of whole leftover-box home, leftover-box join of leftover-box /etc, leftover-box password leftover-box files, or leftover-box huge leftover-box logs, is still a huge leftover-box dump. Night one is two tiny leftover-box practice files, not a giant leftover-box file.

Skip leftover-box join piped into leftover-box rm as tonight's leftover-box job. Join matches leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field. Rm deletes leftover-box files. Do not mix those leftover-box jobs. Careful leftover-box delete only: delete a leftover-box file carefully.

Skip leftover-box files under /etc, leftover-box whole leftover-box /, SSH folders, leftover-box /dev as a leftover-box dump, other disks, USB sticks, and /srv as tonight's lesson. Practice only in home. Join does not need leftover-box /etc or leftover-box / as a leftover-box dump on night one.

That is keep the leftover box on the house network. Do not forward port 22.

What next

Need leftover-box lists lined up in leftover-box columns? Line leftover-box lists up in leftover-box columns (column pretty-prints leftover-box columns; leftover-box join matches leftover-box files on a shared leftover-box field). Need leftover-box sorted leftover-box lists compared? Compare leftover-box sorted leftover-box lists. Need leftover-box columns joined side by side without leftover-box matching leftover-box keys? Join leftover-box columns side by side. Need one leftover-box column pulled out? Pull one leftover-box column. Need leftover-box files leftover-box sorted first? Put leftover-box lines in order. Need leftover-box words you type once? Put a short line into a leftover-box file. Need leftover-box send as the lesson? Send leftover-box output into another command. Need leftover-box practice files gone? Delete a leftover-box file carefully. When key login is boring on every computer you use, turn off leftover-box password login once the key works.
