awk -v file2=modFile.txt2 -f modFile.awk modFile.txt1

--------------- modFile.awk ----------------
BEGIN {

while (getline < file2 > 0) {
if ( $0 ~ /^[#].*/ ) continue;
arr[$1]=$2;
}
close(file2);

}

{
for (i in arr)
gsub(i, arr);
print;
}

--------------- modFile.awk ----------------

Thanks vgersh99,

it's working if you use &quot;gsub(i, arr);&quot;

Ok
it seems that

[i]

was not displaied !
good line is

gsub(i,arr[i])

;
