Compare entries in two files, output one of them in bash
I have two files which are of the following format:
File1:
Unnamed
Unnamed
Boston
Unnamed
New_York
Unnamed
File2:
San_Francisco
Chicago
Portland
Austin
Orlando
Los_Angeles
In the case where an entry in File1 is "Unnamed", I want to output the name from the same line in File2. In the case where the entry in File1 is a name, then I want to output the name from File1.
I want the output to be a file, preferably into File 2, although having the output as File3 would be OK too.
I'm new to using bash, and I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks.

Hi,
I have two files, file1 and file2 and I need to compare them by line (exact match, order of the lines is not important) and get output with lines from file2 that are not found in file1 (not other way around).
How do I do that? With grep or otherwise..

I know the diff does this but it does output more info than just the different text
(e.g.

How can I make it output only
/home/alex/Pictures/hello.jpg
/home/alex/Pictures/hi.jpg
?

xsil2graphics
XSIL2GRAPHICS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation XSIL2GRAPHICS(1)
NAME
xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files
SYNOPSIS
xsil2graphics [options] <xsil_file>
DESCRIPTION
Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com)
or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results
graphically.
Matlab
To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil
or
bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil
Then at the matlab command prompt:
>> data_file
Scilab
To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil
Then at the scilab command prompt:
--> exec('data_file.sci')
OPTIONS
-m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option)
-s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file
-o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil
extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file
EXAMPLES
bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab
bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil
Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab
bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab
