grep - need to idendify which pattern in the pattern matching file

[arunrr]

Here is my situation...

examples of the var TITLE...
TITLE="Stevens Institute of Technology"
TITLE="The Middlesex Academy of Science"
TITLE="University of Alabama"

Contents of file a.list...
Institute
Academy
College
School
University

Contents of file b.list...
N001 Institute
N002 Academy
N003 College
N004 School
N004 University

By using...

echo $TITLE | grep -f a.list

I need to extend this to get the line from file b.list in order to extract the Nxxx number.

Hope this is clear. Help is appreciated...

Hi

[tt][small][blue][ignore][offtopic][/ignore][/blue][/small][/tt]
You may continue with [tt]grep[/tt] :

echo "$TITLE" | grep [highlight]-o[/highlight] -f a.list [highlight]| grep -f - b.list[/highlight]

Tested with GNU [tt]grep[/tt].
[tt][small][blue][ignore][/offtopic][/ignore][/blue][/small][/tt]

awk -vt="$TITLE" 't~$2{print$1}' b.list

Tested with [tt]gawk[/tt] and [tt]mawk[/tt].
