I have two .txt files, and they are something like this:
File 1:
a:b:c
a:b:c
(Lines are all different, but to simplify I use the same letters.)
File 2:
c:d
c:d
(Lines are all different, but to simplify I use the same letters.)
I want a final file that looks like:
@a:b:d
Is this possible? They are big files (File1≈2GB , File2≈600MB).

As far as I understand your needs, it is not possible in a text editor, you have to write a script in your favorite scripting language.

to simplify I use the same letters– oversimplification, not a good thing. Example file 1 has two identical lines; the same for file 2. Yet the desired output is one line. How to match lines from 1 and 2? Line by line? or by a commonckey? If by a common key, what if there are multiple matches? You should edit and make this clear. Also: Notepad++ may not be the best tool (or not be suitable at all). Will you accept another tool/way?
