Default macro for matching contents in external file

Hello All,

I have two text files (lets say A.txt and B.txt) and in each of thes
text files, there are two columns. One is "description" the other i
"name". Furthermore, I have a huge spreadsheet with many columns an
rows. In this spreadsheet, in columns B and D are the "description"
which is exactly the same as the ones in the two text files. I woul
like to write a macro that searches these two text files for th
matching "description" and put the corresponding "name" in columns
and C. (example: macro starts matchng the first row of column B and i
finds a match in A.txt and puts the corresponding "name" in column A o
the spreadsheet)

In column E, I would like the macro to put the word A or B depending o
which file the match was found.

Is this do-able??? Please advise....

Many thanks!
-Lor
