cmp 2 variables
Hi I have two variables contining a set of near identical lines, i'd like to list the lines that differ? Prefereably i'd like not to save the variables into a file first.
i.e
var1
tag:val1
tag:val2
tag:val3
var2
tag:val1
tag:val4
tag:val3
i'd like the result to print out something like tag:val2 <> tag:val4.
I was thinking of using cmp to get the line numbers and then sed/awk to get the output.
I ideas on the 'best' solution to this?
thanks in advance.

asadmin-export(1AS) User Commands asadmin-export(1AS)
NAME
asadmin-export, export - marks a variable name for automatic export to the environment of subsequent commands in multimode
SYNOPSIS
export [ name=value [ name=value]*]
Marks a variable name for automatic export to the environment of subsequent commands. All subsequent commands use the variable name values
as specified; unless you unset them or exit multimode. If only the variable name is specified, the current value of that variable name is
displayed. If the export command is used without any arguments, a list of all the exported variables and their values is displayed.
Exported shell environment variables set prior to invoking the asadmin utility are imported automatically and set as exported variables
within asadmin. Unexported environment variables cannot be read by the asadmin utility.
OPERANDS
name=value variable name and value for automatic export to the environment to be used by subsequent commands.
Example 1: Using export to list the environment variables
asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar AS_ADMIN_PORT=8000 AS_ADMIN_USER=admin AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_PREFIX=server1.jms-service
asadmin> export //to list the environment variables that are set
AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar
AS_ADMIN_PORT=8000
AS_ADMIN_USER=admin
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=********
AS_ADMIN_PREFIX=server1.jms-service
Where: the export command lists the environment variables that are set. In this case, the environment variables have been set to: the host
is bluestar, the port is 8000, the administrator user is admin with an associated password, and the prefix is server1.jms-service.
EXIT STATUS
0 command executed successfully
1 error in executing the command
asadmin-unset(1AS), asadmin-multimode(1AS)
