Find values in a file from another file
I have 2 files, in one of this I have some values and I need to find them in another file. Instead to grep for each single value, I would use the first file to do lookup in the second file
i.e.
File 1
ns1.cloudns.net. -17554 IN A 85.159.233.17
ns1.cloudns.net. -17554 IN AAAA 2a00:1768:1001:9::1
www.alweya.com. -335336 IN A 192.69.217.246
File 2
alweya.com
Outout - File 1 contains www.alweya.com
grep diff

$ while read pat; do
grep -q "$pat" file1 && echo "file1 contains $pat";
done < file2
file1 contains alweya.com
The second approach lets you print individual messages for each pattern found but will be much, much slower on larger files.
