Differences between 2 Flat Files and process the differences

Hey Guru

Sorry for the confusion but
what I meant to ask was that
Code:
'NR==FNR{a[i++]=$1" "$2" "$3" "$4;next;}

by this you store first 4 columns of the whole file(all rows)

and then you move to the next
Code:
{x=$1" "$2" "$3" "$4; for (j in a){if (a[j] == x)next;}}1'

where you store the first 4 columns of each row of second file in x and compare them against the all rows(but first 4 columns only) one by one

what does this 1' means and after executing this awk script the final
file that we will have only 4 columns or the whole structure of the file
(it should compare only the first 4 columns but in the final file should have all 6 columns)


Thanks
J
