I would like to do the inverse of this (exactly same example):
Extract rows from file_1 based on matching the first two columns from a file_2



That is, extract all rows from file_1 except those with the first two columns matching the first two columns from file_2.



Answer:



awk 'NR==FNR get[$1" "$2]++; next !get[$1" "$2]' f2.txt f1.txt
