HI
What i am trying to do is as follows

A------> Raw file
B------> Whitelist
C------> Filtered file

Lets say each of them contains only numbers.
I want to check , how many numbers in the filtered file (came from raw) are there in the whitelist. Ideally all of them should be in the whitelist (filter). But i still want to compare ----is each number in the filtered file also present in the whitelist. If so, i want to count the number of entries that matched.


All i want to do here, is run a for or while loop on file C to compare the entries with file B but dont know how to do it. Once thats doen, i want to count the number of entries that matched in both files.
The output would just give us a count of the number of entries that matched, a simple number.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks
