I have a text file containing names (nameslist.txt
) and I want to read them using cat
and pipe the result with xargs
to a grep
command, so that grep
checks the existence of each name that it receives in a target file (targetfile.txt
).
Let's say targetfile.txt
contains a large number of names which might have some of those names in nameslist.txt
.
What should I add between xargs
and grep
, and between grep
and ./targetfile.txt
, below?
cat ./nameslist.txt | xargs grep ./targetfile.txt
Thank you
