Differences between 2 Flat Files and process the differences
Hey Guru
Sorry for the confusion but
what I meant to ask was that
by this you store first 4 columns of the whole file(all rows)
and then you move to the next
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

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,

File 1
xxx,yyy,zzz,1,2,3
111,222,333,xxx,yyy

But if I try using
