Show the Difference between two files
I have two files and I need to know the difference between each line. This will extend to thousand lines and manual works is really not really an option.
sample:

First File Second File
allan entry1 entry2 entry3 allan entry1 entry3
bob entry1 entry2 entry3 entry4 bob entry1 entry4

I want to output the difference only. Sample output:

allan entry2
bob entry2 entry3

I know that simple grep will not work here. UNIX is new to me and this is the only way i think this can be done.
