Comparing two files at end of line in Linux

I would like to compare two files and get the output of matching string in one of the files at the end of the line:

Let’s say I have two files:-

file1:

xyzabcdef
xyz
abcdefghi

file2:

fghjkl
wertyu
abcdef

I could do something like this:

grep -Fif file2 file1

This gives me the following output:

xyzabcdef
abcdefghi

This is because abcdef in file2 matches both of those lines in file1. However, what I would like is to just compare the end of the line in file1 to those in file2. So, I would like output to be:

xyzabcdef

Is there some magic command that will let me do this?

Answer

Extending Lars’s solution which I think the best option. Simply use the following:

cat -E file2  | grep -if - file1 

The trick is to use -E option of cat to append $ at the end of each line. Then read the pattern from stdin using - option of grep. Also you have to use regex matching, so I removed the -F.
