: I hope this helps.  I don't think there's any better way to do it with awk.

But why one should use awk on this?

#!/bin/sh
cat file1 | awk '{print $1}' >x1
cat file2 | awk '{print $1}' >x2
for ff in `cat x1`
do
	grep $ff x2 >/dev/null
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]
	then
		echo "HIT $ff"
	fi
done

The disk cache should take care of the repetitive access to x2, the
use of awk on the first 2 lines is optional, of course, one could use
cut or another tool to slice the file.
