with their nationalities:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Jean Henri Dunant,Switzerland
Frederic Passy,France
Elie Ducommun,Switzerland
Baroness Bertha Sophie Felicita Von Suttner
.Ed
.Pp
Join the two files using the second column from first file and the default first
column from second file specifying a custom field delimiter:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ join -t, -1 2 nobel_laureates.txt nobel_nationalities.txt
Jean Henri Dunant,1901,M,Switzerland
Frederic Passy,1901,M,France

.Pp
Show only the year and the nationality of the laureate using
.Ql <<NULL>>
to replace empty fields:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ join -e "<<NULL>>" -t, -1 2 -o "1.1 2.2" nobel_laureates.txt nobel_nationalities.txt
1901,Switzerland

Show only lines from first file which do not have a match in second file:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ join -v1 -t, -1 2 nobel_laureates.txt nobel_nationalities.txt

with the following content:
.Bd -literal -offset indent

Show the name and capital of the country where the laureate was born.
This example uses
.Pa nobel_nationalities.txt
as a bridge but does not show any information from that file.
Also see the note about
.Xr sort 1
above to understand why we need to sort the intermediate result.
