comparing files
Hi,
i have a long script saved in two different folders at a different date...these two savings are nearly identical but i would like to know what are the differences between them without having to print and compare them line by line. maybe there is a "compare file1 file2" command? thx

There should be a diff and a cmp command (hopefully - you didn't post your OS). Read the man page on each and see which you prefer.
