pkarthik,
What exactly are you trying to do ? If you want to read the file with partial key , why not sort the file on key and look up until it is greater than the look up key ? If post the requirement then may be we can suggest a solution.

Pkarthik,
Let us assume that the following is your input file.
| Code: |
ABC12345
ABC23456
ABC34567
DEF00000
DEF12345
EFG12345
|
Let us say you want to purge 2 keys ABC and EFG. They are in another file.
Have both the files sorted on the key.
You read the first look up key which is ABC and now you will open file-1 and read until your partial is greater than the lookup key ! so you process all the records of key ABC. Similarly you repeat the process until the end of look up file.
Hope this helps...
Cheers
