script for deleting matched line of a file from another file
 

hi everybody
i have two text file named 1.txt & 2.txt
1.txt contains 5 laks of mobile number.
2.txt has 60 laks of mob no.
situation is that i want to find and delete numbers in 2.txt which already in 1.txt
so can any body provide me any perl or bash script or any other way to get
the work done

i tried the following
----------------------
#! /bin/bash

IFS=$'\n'
for NAME in $(cat one.txt)
do
sed -ie "\|^$NAME\$|d" two.txt
done
echo "***DONE***"
----------------------
it works well with smaller file but it take very very long time even processing 10 thousand numbers.
plz ur support urgently required.
