Not clear. The file seems to be comma AND multiple space delimited. AND, first four lines (and next four ... etc.) seem to contain identical values. It's easy to set a flag on a field changing, but to what avail? Where does $1 == "1" into play? I don't see a connection between your input sample and the desired output you post. Pls be more specific, post more detailed input / output samples.
And, btw, don't use $f in your awk script. That's a shell'ism; use f to reference the variable itself. In awk, $f would address the f'th field of the input line...
Sorry for not being clear. The code is not space separated, but just shown as such to clarify the input. Here is a better example:
Typical input -
Non-typical input -
In the non-typical input case, I would like to create an output, such as "FAIL", to use in a later routine if the 1st field is different from the rest for any of the individual files.
The 1st field will not always be known, but however is a value input from another file entirely. The goal here is run a script to automate having to visually look through the file for differences in the 1st field for any "file1" or "file2" lines of the file.

Dears,
I have a list as follows,

If I want to find the difference between two consecutive rows. Then I have to store the specific rows in two variables and then find the difference. Could someone tell how this can be done.

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)
Hello guys,
Please help me to solve this problem. I have tried some awk commands but couldn't succeed.
I have a tab delimited file where each record is separated by ------ and 4th column of each record is same.

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)
Legends,
I have a requirement to run the script exactly after one hour of completion of dependent script.

diff3
DIFF3(1) General Commands Manual DIFF3(1)NAME
diff3 - 3-way differential file comparison
SYNOPSIS
diff3 [ -exEX3 ] file1 file2 file3
DESCRIPTION
Diff3 compares three versions of a file, and publishes disagreeing ranges of text flagged with these codes:
==== all three files differ
====1 file1 is different
====2 file2 is different
====3 file3 is different
The type of change suffered in converting a given range of a given file to some other is indicated in one of these ways:
f : n1 a Text is to be appended after line number n1 in file f, where f = 1, 2, or 3.
f : n1 , n2 c Text is to be changed in the range line n1 to line n2. If n1 = n2, the range may be abbreviated to n1.
The original contents of the range follows immediately after a c indication. When the contents of two files are identical, the contents of
the lower-numbered file is suppressed.
Under the -e option, diff3 publishes a script for the editor ed that will incorporate into file1 all changes between file2 and file3, i.e.
the changes that normally would be flagged ==== and ====3. Option -x (-3) produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged ====
(====3). The following command will apply the resulting script to `file1'.
(cat script; echo '1,$p') | ed - file1
The -E and -X are similar to -e and -x, respectively, but treat overlapping changes (i.e., changes that would be flagged with ==== in the
normal listing) differently. The overlapping lines from both files will be inserted by the edit script, bracketed by "<<<<<<" and ">>>>>>"
lines.
For example, suppose lines 7-8 are changed in both file1 and file2. Applying the edit script generated by the command
"diff3 -E file1 file2 file3"
to file1 results in the file:
lines 1-6
of file1
<<<<<<< file1
lines 7-8
of file1
=======
lines 7-8
of file3
>>>>>>> file3
rest of file1
The -E option is used by RCS merge(1) to insure that overlapping changes in the merged files are preserved and brought to someone's atten-
tion.

Text lines that consist of a single `.' will defeat -e.
