Shell Programming and Scripting

HI

i am running a shell script in cron and storing the output of that script in a file say test.then i am copying the content of test to test1 and i will send the output of test to some email ids using mutt. Next time when the script executes i am comparing the contents of test and test1 and email will be send if there is any difference in the content of these two files.

what i am looking for is to get a better view of the output while viewing in outlook with some borders and to highlight with red color for only those rows which are different in those 2 files for better understanding of changed rows.
output of test file will be like this.

Code:

Apple Orange  Mango

output of test1 will be the same while running the script for the first time.

if it changes.

output of test1 will be

Code:

Apple Grape Mango

Kindly help

Since you want different colors when looking at the mail in Outlook, you have two obvious options: Create the mail in RTF format, or create it in HTML format. I would recommend the latter, because HTML can be displayed by virtually any mail client.

Hi
can you please suggest how to create this in html format
