Is there a command in unix to find the union of two files and removing the union from one of the files?
e.g. I have two files input1.txt and input2.txt with the contents below:
$ more input1.txt
4
2
3
2
$ more input2.txt
5
4
4
8

Given two files of the same format (For example number1|text1|number2) what is the command to print lines in file1 which do not occur in file2? diff command seems a bit complicated for me for this purpose. Please help!! Thank you very much. (3 Replies)
Hi,
A piece of script from Perl-cookbook I do not understand, and post here for explanation.
The purpose is to find the element in either array (union), and in both array (intersection). Thank you in advance.
@a=qw(1 3 5 6 7 8);
@b=qw(2 3 5 7 9);
foreach $e (@a, @b) {$union{$e}++ &&... (3 Replies)
My concept may sound a bit cryptic but I what some startup information as to how we can use GDB APIs / debugging techniques in programs with GCC when we compile the program. We can definitely tell gcc to link GDB libs also. The ultimate aid would be that when the compiled programs executes it... (4 Replies)
Hi I have 2 files; usually the end position in the file1 is the start position in the file2 and the end position in file2 will be the start position in file1 (flanks)

I have 2 files; file 1 having smaller positions that overlap with the positions with positions in file2.

Hi all,
I have a file like this I want to extract only those regions which are big and continous

cat
CAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual CAT(1)NAME
cat -- concatenate and print files
SYNOPSIS
cat [-benstuv] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The cat utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the standard output. The file operands are processed in command-line order. If
file is a single dash ('-') or absent, cat reads from the standard input. If file is a UNIX domain socket, cat connects to it and then reads
it until EOF. This complements the UNIX domain binding capability available in inetd(8).
The options are as follows:
-b Number the non-blank output lines, starting at 1.
-e Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display a dollar sign ('$') at the end of each line.
-n Number the output lines, starting at 1.
-s Squeeze multiple adjacent empty lines, causing the output to be single spaced.
-t Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display tab characters as '^I'.
-u Disable output buffering.
-v Display non-printing characters so they are visible. Control characters print as '^X' for control-X; the delete character (octal
0177) prints as '^?'. Non-ASCII characters (with the high bit set) are printed as 'M-' (for meta) followed by the character for the
low 7 bits.
EXIT STATUS
The cat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
The command:
cat file1
will print the contents of file1 to the standard output.
The command:
cat file1 file2 > file3
will sequentially print the contents of file1 and file2 to the file file3, truncating file3 if it already exists. See the manual page for
your shell (i.e., sh(1)) for more information on redirection.
The command:
cat file1 - file2 - file3
will print the contents of file1, print data it receives from the standard input until it receives an EOF ('^D') character, print the con-
tents of file2, read and output contents of the standard input again, then finally output the contents of file3. Note that if the standard
input referred to a file, the second dash on the command-line would have no effect, since the entire contents of the file would have already
been read and printed by cat when it encountered the first '-' operand.

Rob Pike, "UNIX Style, or cat -v Considered Harmful", USENIX Summer Conference Proceedings, 1983.
STANDARDS
The cat utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'') specification.
The flags [-benstv] are extensions to the specification.
HISTORY
A cat utility appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. Dennis Ritchie designed and wrote the first man page. It appears to have been cat(1).
BUGS
Because of the shell language mechanism used to perform output redirection, the command ``cat file1 file2 > file1'' will cause the original
data in file1 to be destroyed!
The cat utility does not recognize multibyte characters when the -t or -v option is in effect.
