Because the lines are all different. Every line will show a discrepancy. Basically, I have a master list of names (File1) and I'm comparing a 2nd list (File2) which may or may not have the names of File1 in it. I want to know which names are missing in File2 comparing it against File1. Ideally, all the names in File1 should be in File2 but that isn't the case. There is also other stuff in File2 so all the lines in both files are different. I hope I'm describing this properly.
