Total UNIX Rookie, but I'm learning. I have columns of integer data separated by spaces, and I'm using a Mac terminal.
What I want to do:
1. Compare "line 1 column 2" (x) to "line 2 column 2" (y); is y-x>=100?
2. If yes, display difference and y's line number
3. If no, increment x and y by one and repeat
I have a list of files that I want to compare to another list of files, how do I do that?
The first list will be my known list and hard coded, for example:
mylist="janfile.tar jarfile.jar jan.rpt.Z" etc.
The second list will be found by doing an 'ls' piped to a file:
ls > filelist.dat

cut
CUT(1) General Commands Manual CUT(1)NAME
cut - select out columns of a file
SYNOPSIS
cut [ -b | -c] list [file...]
cut -f list [-d delim] [ -s]
OPTIONS -b Cut specified bytes
-c Select out specific characters
-d Change the column delimiter to delim
-f Select out specific fields that are separated by the
-i Runs of delimiters count as one
-s Suppres lines with no delimiter characters, when used
EXAMPLES
cut -f 2 file # Extract field 2
cut -c 1-2,5 file # Extract character columns 1, 2, and 5
cut -c 1-5,7- file # Extract all columns except 6
DESCRIPTION
[file...]" delimiter character ( see delim)" with the -f option. Lines with no delimiters are passwd through untouched"
Cut extracts one or more fields or columns from a file and writes them on standard output. If the -f flag is used, the fields are sepa-
rated by a delimiter character, normally a tab, but can be changed using the -d flag. If the -c flag is used, specific columns can be
specified. The list can be comma or BLANK separated. The -f and -c flags are mutually exclusive. Note: The POSIX1003.2 standard requires
the option -b to cut out specific bytes in a file. It is intended for systems with multi byte characters (e.g. kanji), since MINIX uses
only one byte characters, this option is equivalent to -c. For the same reason, the option -n has no effect and is not listed in this man-
ual page.
