Thanks, sdiff works, but I tried the above code but getting syntext error in line 2:

$ ./Comp2Files.awk
awk: syntax error near line 2
awk: bailing out near line 2

Just type the command on the prompt or use a script like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

awk 'NR==FNR{a[$0]=$0;next}
$0 in a {print $0 > "dup_file";next}
{print $0 > "no_dup_file"}
' fileA fileB
