File 1:
a a b c d
File 2:
a a1 b b1 e e1 f f1
My desired output:
a a1 a a1 b b1
I am trying to implement this using bash or Python.
In python I tried:
f1=open("file1") f2=open("file2") dpo1=f1.readlines() dpo2=f2.readlines() for i in dpo2: for j in dpo1: if j in i: print i
In bash I was thinking of using grep but grep will give the output that matches the entire line but this is not the case here. Any ideas?

This is what works finally.
awk 'NR==FNR{a[$1]=$2;next}$0 in a{print $0,a[$0]}' file2 file1
