compare two text files in a good format

I am writting a script where I have to Campare two text files.
I have 3 text files named by s_list, s_list_new and dmg_file. where I have to compare s_list and s_list_new and whatever the unique values are in s_list I have to add that in the dmg_file. And the values they are only in s_list_new and not in s_list I have to delete that from dmg_file
I have tried so many things, but diff, comm is not helping me because if i do comm it compares line by line and the value may not match line by line and with diff its not giving me exact output and I am thinking may be im not aware of different diff output formats.
for example if i do diff temp temp1 i get like this output and I dont want it. i just want thos unique values nothing else
diff temp temp1
