I would like to subset a large file based on elements in another file in bash. Here is an example data for the first file:



Col1,Col2,Col3

A,10,50

B,10,05

C,20,30

B,20,03

A,30,100

C,30,111

D,40,120



The second file is:

A

B

C



I would to save subset of file1 with first column takes value "A" to A.txt; and "B" to B.txt, and so on.



Before I am using



awk '$1=="A"' file1.txt > A.txt



but now I have to deal with 100+ different names in the second file, looking for a better way to get the job done. Thanks!!!
