There are 2 files, Master and User. We need to compare 2 files and prepare a output log file which lists out missing Rolename for each UserName between Master and User file. Please find the sample data- MASTER.csv ---------- Org|Tmp_UsrID|ShortMark|Rolename ---|---------|----------|------------ AUS|0_ABC_PW |ABC PW |ABC Admin PW AUS|0_ABC_PW |ABC PW |MT Deny all GBR|0_EDT_SEC|CR Edit |Editor GBR|0_EDT_SEC|CR Edit |SEC MT103 GBR|0_EDT_SEC|CR Edit |AB User USER.csv -------- Org|UserName|ShortMark|Rolename ---|--------|---------|------------ AUS|charls |ABC PW |ABC Admin PW AUS|amudha |ABC PW |MT Deny all GBR|sandya |CR Edit |Editor GBR|sandya |CR Edit |SEC MT103 GBR|sandya |CR Edit |AB User GBR|sarkar |CR Edit |Editor GBR|sarkar |CR Edit |SEC MT103 Required Output file: --------------------- Org|Tmp_UsrID|UserName|Rolename |Code ---|---------|--------|------------|-------- AUS|0_ABC_PW |charls |ABC Admin PW|MATCH AUS|0_ABC_PW |charls |MT Deny all |MISSING AUS|0_ABC_PW |amudha |ABC Admin PW|MISSING AUS|0_ABC_PW |amudha |MT Deny all |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sandya |Editor |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sandya |SEC MT103 |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sandya |AB User |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sarkar |Editor |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sarkar |SEC MT103 |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sarkar |AB User |MISSING Both the files are mapped through Organization, Shor_mark. So, based on each Organization, Short_Mark, for each UserName from User.csv, we need to find the Matching and Missing Rolename. I am able to bring Matching records in the output. But really I don't find any concept or logic to achieve "MISSING" records which are present in Master and not in User.csv for each UserName. Please help out guys. Let me know if you need any more information. Note:- In User.csv file, there are n number of Organization, under which n number Shortmark comes which has n number of UserName.
