Differences between 2 Flat Files and process the differences
Hi
Hope you are having a great weeknd !! I had a question and need your expertise for this :
I have 2 files File1 & File2(of same structure) which I need to compare on some columns. I need to find the values which are there in File2 but not in File 1 and put the Differences in another file which I need to process
File 1
File 2
Diff File
So I need to compare only for the first 4 fields (i.e if any of those 4 fields are different then we need to pu them in the diff file and process it)
Any Help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
J

Hi,
"diff" command takes two file names as arguements and gives the difference between the two.
How do I get the number of differences between two files ???
(Excluding whitespaces).
Don't ask me to count number of lines produced by "diff".
Thanks in advance,
