Compare with Python Script Language
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
f1=open(sys.argv[1])
f2=open(sys.argv[2])
s1=set(f1)
s2=set(f2)
for i in s1.difference(s2):
 print i

Assume that script name is a_b
Code:
Usage: ./a_b file1 file2 >result_dif.txt

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
f1=open(sys.argv[1])
f2=open(sys.argv[2])
s1=set(f1)
s2=set(f2)
for i in s1.intersection(s2):
 print i

Assume that script name is aandb
Code:
Usage: ./aandb file1 file2>result_inter.txt

First Python script can help you for the differences between 2 files, and second python script can help you about 2 files intersection
