Compare semicolon seperated data in 2 files using shell script
hello members,

I have some data ( seperated by semicolon ) with close to 240 rows in a text file temp1.
temp2.txt stores 204 rows of data ( seperated by semicolon ).
I want to :
Sort the data in both files by field1.i.e first data field in every row.
compare the data in both files and print out the rows that are not equal in seperate files.

I was trying to do this with excel using vlookup, without a great deal of success. hence, i'm exploring the shell script option.

Code:
temp1.txt
1000xyz400100xyzA00680xyz0;19722.83;19565.7;157.13;11;2.74;11.00
1000xyz400100xyzA00682xyz0;7210.68;4111.53;3099.15;216.95;1.21;216.94
1000xyz430200xyzA00651xyz0;146.70;0.00;0.00;0.00;0.00;0.00

temp2.txt
1000xyz400100xyzA00680xyz0;19722.83;19565.7;157.13;11;2.74;11.00
1000xyz400100xyzA00682xyz0;7210.68;4111.53;3099.15;216.95;1.21;216.94

Appreciate if you can get me started. I have a solaris machine, where i intend to run the scripts.

regards,

kris

ifplugd.conf

ifplugd.conf(5) 						File Formats Manual						   ifplugd.conf(5)

NAME

       ifplugd.conf - ifplugd configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       ifplugd.conf  is  the configuration file for ifplugd. It is a shell script that is sourced by the init script starting the daemon. It shall
       be used to set environment variables which are interpreted by the init script:

OPTIONS

       INTERFACES
	      Specifies the ethernet interfaces to monitor. It has to contain a space seperated list of network interfaces names. Most users  will
	      probably	use  "eth0"  here,  however you may add additional interfaces for monitoring more than one device. A special value is sup-
	      ported as well: "auto" will enable a more or less working auto detection of available network devices. This  won't  make	you  happy
	      when using network module auto loading, since it cannot detect currently unloaded network devices.

       ARGS   Additional command line arguments for ifplugd invocation. See ifplugd(8) for further information.

       ARGS_iface
	      If  specified  for  an  interface  this  variable  takes precedence over ARGS. This may be useful if more than one network device is
	      present.
