merging two files

Hi everyone,

I have two files which will be exactly same at first. After sometime there will be inserts in one file. My problem is how to reflect these changes in second file also.

I found out that any compare and merge utility would do the job like, GNU " sdiff " command. But the problem with sdiff is, it is an interactive tool. we have to tell the command what to do each time it finds a difference in the files. (Either merge the change or discard it by specifying 'l' , 'r' ..options)

do any one of you know how to automate this process.... or any other utility is available for doing this?

(sort with -m option is not what i want ..because i dont want to lose the order in the files)

Thanks in advance
