The fragmentation of a light parton i to a jet containing a light energetic hadron h, where the momentum fraction of this hadron as well as the invariant mass of the jet is measured, is described by fragmenting jet functions. We calculate the one-loop matching coefficient J(ij) that relate the fragmenting jet functions G(i)(h) to the standard, unpolarized fragmentation functions D-j(h) for quark and gluon jets. We perform this calculation using various IR regulators and show explicitly how the IR divergences cancel in the matching. We derive the relationship between the coefficients J(ij) and the quark and gluon jet functions. This provides a cross-check of our results. As an application we study the process e(+)e(-) -> X pi(+) on the Y(4S) resonance where we measure the momentum fraction of the pi(+) and restrict to the dijet limit by imposing a cut on thrust T. In our analysis we sum the logarithms of tau = 1 - T in the cross section to next-to-next-to-leading-logarthmic accuracy (NNLL). We find that including contributions up to NNLL (or NLO) can have a large impact on extracting fragmentation functions from e(+)e(-) -> dijet + h.
