I have a file that has multiple lines, of grouped data, that typically all have the same values in the 1st field, however, I would like to search the 1st field for any differences and set a flag to use in an "if" statement to run some other routine.
An example of the typical file is below, which is a comma separated file:
I want to set a flag for each data set of the 3rd field, if the file has differences in the 1st field like below:
One method I've tried so far is to strip out the lines where the 3rd field is all the same, and then try to run through each line and check the 1st field for differences.
I've tried the following, but can't get it to work.

I have two files. They are prety much the same, except a few lines. I would like to get the differences between the two file, but only those differences and nothing more.
"diff" and "sdiff" cannot seem to do it. "sdiff -s" gets close, but I still get "less than" or "greater than" signs in the... (2 Replies)

Hi,
I have a file in the following format
a1 b1 c1 d1
a2 b2 c2 d2
a3 b3 c3 d3
a4 b4 c4 d4
I need a script to find the difference between corresponding values of successive rows. So the output would have one less row than the input file and should look like:

Hi!
I'd like to know if it is possible for a command to find the first difference between two large files, output that line from both file and stop, so no need to continue after that to save some computation time.
I don't think looping through it will be efficient enough but that's the only... (6 Replies)

diff3
diff3(1) General Commands Manual diff3(1)NAME
diff3 - 3-way differential file comparison
SYNOPSIS
file1 file2 file3
DESCRIPTION
compares three versions of a file, and prints disagreeing ranges of text flagged with these codes:
all three files differ
file1 is different
file2 is different
file3 is different
The type of change required to convert a given range of a given file to some other is indicated in one of these ways:
Text is to be appended after line number
n1 in file f, where f = or
Text is to be changed in the range line
n1 through line n2. If n1 = n2, the range can be abbreviated to n1.
The original contents of the range follows immediately after a indication. When the contents of two files are identical, the contents of
the lower-numbered file is suppressed.
Produces a script for the
editor that can be used to incorporate into file1 all changes between file2 and file3 (see ed(1)); i.e., the changes that
normally would be flagged and
Produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged
Produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged
Produces a script that will incorporate all
changes between file2 and file3, but treat overlapping changes (that is, changes that would be flagged with in normal
listing) differently. The overlapping lines in both files will be inserted by the edit script bracketed by and lines.
Produces a script that will incorporate only changes flagged
, but treat these changes in the manner of option.
The following command applies the resulting script to file1.
