Help needed in formatting the ouptut of diff
Hi era,
I do not know much of scripting.Can you give me a awk script to compare files after sorting which should ignore spacing difference and case and the line which mismatches from file 2 with that of file 1 should be displayed one below the other?
For e.g.
File 1 contains
A The row count of file2.txt is 23
A The row count of file3.txt is 20
A The row count of file4.txt is 2
File 2 contains
a The row count of file2.txt is 22
a The row count of file3.txt is 21
a The row count of file4.txt is 1
Output should be like
A The row count of file2.txt is 23
a The row count of file2.txt is 22
A The row count of file3.txt is 20
a The row count of file3.txt is 21
A The row count of file4.txt is 2
a The row count of file4.txt is 1
Will awk be able to compare files of size 20MB?

Hello,
I want to compare two files. All records in file 2 that are not in file 1 should be output to file 3.
For example:
file 1
123
1234
123456
file 2
123
2345
23456
file 3 should have
2345
23456

NAME
bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files
SYNOPSIS
bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Bzcmp and bzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on bzip2 compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
cmp or diff. If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an uncompressed file1.bz2. If two files are specified,
then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff. The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
