I agree with robert. I think I know what you want to do, but just am not sure.

From what you've written it's unclear to me
- whether you want an in memory structure or persistent data,
- what you have implemented so far,
- what it is that you are asking.
I'd say there is some room for improvement of your original posting.
Now I need to put both these file into and array (single associative
array) and read them
simeltaneously meaning when I execute this program typing the
"group_name " followed by "student_name" I should get the result
ex
ABC student3
o/p => student3 85 84 89
similarly
DEF student12
o/p => 77 84 96 student12 84
How could I achieve this
Thanking you

What is a "group name"? I can guess on the student name but am at a loss with regard to this "group name".
ex
ABC student3
o/p => student3 85 84 89
similarly
DEF student12
o/p => 77 84 96 student12 84

Frankly, this looks like a homework assignment and I am reluctant to implement this for you. Also it seems, the spec is not yet fully clear (to you). So while we have a pretty good specification (or rather example) of the input data, it is still not clear to me what output you expect. You talk about putting your input data into a single associative array which is implementation terminology. But the important bit is to get the _requirements_ straight _first_.
Kind regards

That was my thought. It seems the OP wants treat two different streams
as the same kind of data (but keyed on different values). I can think
of a way to abstract this, but it just "feels" wrong. Seems like this
kind of thing is best suited to a DB/ORM mapping rather than trying to
do it by hand.

I'm still not sure, but I think Advait wants to search for a line in a
file. Is that true, Advait?
