hmm...
that was limited to my understanding of king's problem.
You can very well Try... No, sorting, no formatting...
@rakesh,
Nope i was looking in same format as before..... the one using sdiff code worked fine except for records which are missing...
And its not file1 against file2 or vice verse.. Have to compare both files.. See example belore again:
File1
abc 1 1 1
abc 2 2 2
abc 3 3 3
abc 5 5 5
File2
abc 1 1 1
abc 2 1 2
abc 3 3 3
abc 4 4 4
Output:
abc 2 2 2 | abc 2 1 2
| abc 4 4 4
abc 5 5 5 |

Hi
I have two files f1 and f2 and comma separated file.
I need to comapre two files by field by field and not by whole line.
If they match then skip the line from both the files. If they don't match
write the mismatch record from f1 to f3.
Assume both the files are sorted on first field.

hi! i researched about comparing two columns here and got an answer. but after examining my two files, i found out that the first columns of the two files are not unique with each other. all i want to compare is the 2nd and 3rd column.
FILE 1:
ABS 456 315
EBS 923 163
JYQ3 654 237
FILE 2:... (1 Reply)
File 1 has 16 columns so does File 2
I want to remove all records from File 2 that column 1 and column 16 match between file 1 and file 2

cmp
CMP(1) BSD General Commands Manual CMP(1)NAME
cmp -- compare two files
SYNOPSIS
cmp [-l | -s | -x] [-hz] file1 file2 [skip1 [skip2]]
DESCRIPTION
The cmp utility compares two files of any type and writes the results to the standard output. By default, cmp is silent if the files are the
same; if they differ, the byte and line number at which the first difference occurred is reported.
Bytes and lines are numbered beginning with one.
The following options are available:
-h Do not follow symbolic links.
-l Print the byte number (decimal) and the differing byte values (octal) for each difference.
-s Print nothing for differing files; return exit status only.
-x Like -l but prints in hexadecimal and using zero as index for the first byte in the files.
-z For regular files compare file sizes first, and fail the comparison if they are not equal.
The optional arguments skip1 and skip2 are the byte offsets from the beginning of file1 and file2, respectively, where the comparison will
begin. The offset is decimal by default, but may be expressed as a hexadecimal or octal value by preceding it with a leading ``0x'' or
``0''.
EXIT STATUS
The cmp utility exits with one of the following values:
0 The files are identical.
1 The files are different; this includes the case where one file is identical to the first part of the other. In the latter case, if the
-s option has not been specified, cmp writes to standard error that EOF was reached in the shorter file (before any differences were
found).
>1 An error occurred.
SEE ALSO diff(1), diff3(1)STANDARDS
The cmp utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible. The -h, -x, and -z options are extensions to the standard.
HISTORY
A cmp command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
