Differences between 2 Flat Files and process the differences
Hi Guru
Thanks for the quick answer...Not well versed with awk so wanted to confirm my understanding...
basically when you say:
you are taking the first file and putting all its data into array a[i]
so a[1] will have first row of the first file so you insert the whole data of the first file in a[i]
now when you say
this is the part where NR not equal to FNR ie you start reading the second file you assign X with the first row of the second file then you use the for loop to compare each row of first file with the row in the second file if its equal then you continue to the next row otherwise you put the entry into diff file .This you do for each row in the second file
this part you have initialized i,j
It will be great if you could confirm...It would be a great help
Thanks

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,
