AWK to compare two files for each field value
I have "n" files in directory A and "n" files in directory B. The files are expected to be the same with same data. Each file has 14 columns and "x" rows. Of the 14 column, 2 columns are to be considered as key identifiers. Based on this unique combination, I need to compare each field value between the two files and report the difference.
Note: File in Directory A has values displayed upto 5 decimal places. But file in Directory B has some values displayed as scientific values, some whole numbers and some upto some decimal places.
I am a beginner with Bash and not sure on executing this.
Any help with code would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Any help or insight on this would be great. Thanks in advance. (1 Reply)
