Helen if you're out there, 2nd question.
Hello Helen,
Your script for my original question does work except that I only want to see what is not in file2. You have it reporting yes and no for file2. I might add that these files I'm referring to are huge so, again, I'm only asking to know what is NOT in file2 only. I'm going to continue to play around with your script in the meanwhile. Thanks.
Jimmy

slack-diff
DIFF(1) User Commands DIFF(1)
NAME
slack-diff - compare file contents, modes, etc
SYNOPSIS
slack-diff [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2
DESCRIPTION
A wrapper for diff that displays file modes and other metadata changes.
-u -U NUM --unified[=NUM]
Tell diff(1) to use unified output format.
--diff PROG
Use this program for diffing, instead of diff.
--fakediff
Make a fake diff for file modes and other things that are not file contents. Default is on, can be disabled with --nofakediff.
-r --recursive
Recursively compare any subdirectories found.
-N --new-file
Treat missing files as empty. Default is on, can be disabled with --nonew-file.
--unidirectional-new-file
Treat only missing files in the first directory as empty.
--from-file
Treat arguments as a list of files from which to read filenames to compare, two lines at a time.
-0 --null
Use NULLs instead of newlines as the separator in --from-file mode.
--devnullhack
You have a version of diff that can't deal with -N when not in recursive mode, so we need to feed it /dev/null instead of the miss-
ing file. Default is on, can be disabled with --nodevnullhack.
--version
Output version info.
--help Output this help.
FILES are `FILE1 FILE2' or `DIR1 DIR2' or `DIR FILE...' or `FILE... DIR'. If --from-file or --to-file is given, there are no restrictions
on FILES. If a FILE is `-', read standard input.
