Shell Script: Compare 2 Files and Extract Unique Elements of Each File into 2 New Files
Thanks for the reply danmero. I made a mistake in the description. Let me re-phrase the question again.


File_A contains Strings and content's elements are NOT IN ANY ORDER OR PATTERN AND file varies in size from one run to the next run:
a <- in both File_A and File_B
b <- unique to File_A
c <- in both File_A and File_B
d <- unique to File_A

File_B contains Strings and content's elements are NOT IN ANY ORDER OR PATTERN AND file varies in size from one run to the next run:
a <- in both File_A and File_B
c <- in both File_A and File_B
z <- unique to File_B



Need to have script written in either sh or ksh. Resultant files (File_New_A and File_New_B) is derived from comparing contents of files File_A and File_B where resultant string elements in File_New_A and File_New_B are listed below. Resultant File_New_A will contain only unique elements found only in File_A when compared with File_B. File_New_B will contain only unique elements found in only File_B when compared with File_A.


Resultant files:
File_New_A contains String:
b <- unique to File_A
d <- unique to File_A


File_New_B contains String:
z <- unique to File_B


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next run could have

File_A contains Strings and content's elements are NOT IN ANY ORDER OR PATTERN AND file varies in size from one run to the next run:
m <- only in File_A
n <- only in File_A
o <- only in File_A
p <- only in File_A
q <- in both File_A and File_B
r <- in both File_A and File_B

File_B contains Strings and content's elements are NOT IN ANY ORDER OR PATTERN AND file varies in size from one run to the next run:
q <- in both File_A and File_B
r <- in both File_A and File_B

Resultant files after comparing File_A and File_B:

Resultant files:
File_New_A contains String:
m <- unique to File_A
n <- unique to File_A
o <- unique to File_A
p <- unique to File_A

File_New_B contains String:

No elements in File_New_B since File_B have no unique elements to File_B, all files in File_B are also in File_A; therefore File_New_B is empty.

I hope this is more clearer.

Thank you.

ifup

ifup(8) 																   ifup(8)

NAME

       ifup - bring a network interface up

       ifdown - take a network interface down

SYNOPSIS

       ifup [-nv] [--no-act] [--verbose] [-i FILE|--interfaces=FILE] [--allow CLASS] -a|IFACE...
       ifup -h|--help
       ifup -V|--version

       ifdown [-nv] [--no-act] [--verbose] [-i FILE|--interfaces=FILE] [--allow CLASS] -a|IFACE...

DESCRIPTION

       The  ifup and ifdown commands may be used to configure (or, respectively, deconfigure) network interfaces based on interface definitions in
       the file /etc/network/interfaces.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -a, --all
	      If given to ifup, affect all interfaces marked auto.  Interfaces are brought up in the order in which they are defined in  /etc/net-
	      work/interfaces.	 If  given  to	ifdown, affect all defined interfaces.	Interfaces are brought down in the order in which they are
	      currently listed in the state file. Only interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces will be brought down.

       --force
	      Force configuration or deconfiguration of the interface.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       --allow=CLASS
	      Only allow interfaces listed in an allow-CLASS line in /etc/network/interfaces to be acted upon.

       -i FILE, --interfaces=FILE
	      Read interface definitions from FILE instead of from /etc/network/interfaces.

       -e PATTERN, --exclude=PATTERN
	      Exclude interfaces from the list of interfaces to operate on by the PATTERN.  Notice that the PATTERN can be a full  interface  name
	      or substrings that match interfaces. Users could easily have unexpected behaviour if they use a small string to do the match.

       -n, --no-act
	      Don't configure any interfaces or run any "up" or "down" commands.

       --no-mappings
	      Don't run any mappings.  See interfaces(5) for more information about the mapping feature.

       -V, --version
	      Show copyright and version information.

       -v, --verbose
	      Show commands as they are executed.

EXAMPLES

       ifup -a
	      Bring up all the interfaces defined with auto in /etc/network/interfaces

       ifup eth0
	      Bring up interface eth0

       ifup eth0=home
	      Bring up interface eth0 as logical interface home

       ifdown -a
	      Bring down all interfaces that are currently up.

NOTES

       ifup and ifdown are actually the same program called by different names.

       The program does not configure network interfaces directly; it runs low level utilities such as ip to do its dirty work.

FILES

       /etc/network/interfaces
	      definitions of network interfaces See interfaces(5) for more information.

       /var/run/network/ifstate
	      current state of network interfaces

KNOWN BUGS
/LIMITATIONS
       The program keeps records of whether network interfaces are up or down.	Under exceptional circumstances these records can become inconsis-
       tent with the real states of the interfaces.  For example, an interface that was brought up using ifup and later deconfigured using  ifcon-
       fig  will still be recorded as up.  To fix this you can use the --force option to force ifup or ifdown to run configuration or deconfigura-
       tion commands despite what it considers the current state of the interface to be.

       The file /var/run/network/ifstate must be writable for ifup or ifdown to work properly.	On Ubuntu the /var/run	location  is  a  temporary
       filesystem  which is always writable and thrown away on shutdown.  You can also use the --force option to run configuration or deconfigura-
       tion commands without updating the file.

       Note that the program does not run automatically: ifup alone does not bring up interfaces  that	appear	as  a  result  of  hardware  being
       installed and ifdown alone does not bring down interfaces that disappear as a result of hardware being removed.	To automate the configura-
       tion of network interfaces you need to install other packages such as hotplug(8) or ifplugd(8).
