To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.
First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)
Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.
Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.
Thank You.

diff3(1) General Commands Manual diff3(1)
Name
diff3 - 3-way differential file comparison
Syntax
diff3 [-ex3] file1 file2 file3
Description
The command compares three versions of a file, and publishes the ranges of text that disagree, flagged with the following codes:
==== all three files differ
====1 file1 is different
====2 file2 is different
====3 file3 is different
The type of change needed to convert a given range of a given file to some other is indicated in one of these ways:
f : n1 a Text is to be appended after line number n1 in file f, where f = 1, 2, or 3.
f : n1 , n2 c
Text is to be changed in the range line n1 to line n2. If n1 = n2, the range may be abbreviated to n1.
The original contents of the range follows immediately after a c indication. When the contents of two files are identical, the contents of
the lower-numbered file is suppressed.
Options
-3 Produces an editor script containing the changes between file1 and file2 that are to be incorporated into file3.
-e Produces an editor script containing the changes between file2 and file3 that are to be incorporated into file1.
-x Produces an editor script containing the changes among all three files.
Examples
Under the -e option, publishes a script for the editor that incorporates into file1 all changes between file2 and file3 - that is, the
changes that would normally be flagged ==== and ====3. Option -x (-3) produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged ==== (====3).
The following command applies the resulting script to `file1':
(cat script; echo '1,$p') | ed - file1
Restrictions
Text lines that consist of a single `.' defeat -e.
