Thank you to everyone who have replied
but ....
Sometimes this might be a long list, unalphabetized, and the words might be lb_nhb_5x_gihsd2_frnas, so spotting the differences between 2 columns is not practical. Yes, I have tried a lot of simple commands like paste, sort, uniq, and bdiff, but we would really prefer the following format for spotting the differences quicker and easier:
Desire Output:
File1 Files
-----------
die1
die2 die2
die3
lb_name1 lb_name1
lb_name2 lb_name2
lb_name3
Each of these columns is in a different file. I'm simply wanting to combine the 2 files, but have the same item in rows. The differences should be blanks. Even the paste -d \n command doesn't do this.
I've tried to type in the tabs between these 2 columns, but this forum will not let me use tab. With the tabs, it's really easy to spot the differences. I've been struggling with this problem for a week now. It's fun scripting but I've hit a wall, so I really need your help

shunit2
SHUNIT2(1) SHUNIT2(1)
NAME
shunit2 - A unit test framework for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
shunit2 unitfile
DESCRIPTION
shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit,
etc.. If you have ever had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the job.
You can either run shunit2 directly from the commandline and specify the unit file or directly source the shunit2 executable.
If you directly execute shunit2 and don't specify a unitfile shunit2 assumes a empty testfile and will return without an error message.
EXAMPLE
Simple script to test if 1 equals 1
#! /bin/sh
testEquality()
{
assertEquals 1 1
}
# load shunit2
. shunit2
Execute shUnit2 unit tests directly from the commandline
shunit2 /path/to/unit/file
OPTIONS
shunit2 does not support any commandline options at all. You can either source shunit2 to execute your unit tests or directly run shunit2
as a commandline script.
SEE ALSO
For more information see http://code.google.com/p/shunit2/ or have a look at the installed documentation in /usr/share/doc/shunit2/
