PERL Scripting: Diff 2 files and save output to file3
Hi,
I need to create a script to compare 2 files and store the output in a 3rd file.
This is how I do manually, but since I need to do this for about 150 files every week, I am trying to automate it using perl.
diff -u file1 file2 > file3.patch
For my script,
- I have 2 files under different file paths, say
$gpath = $WS_GOOGLE_COMPARE . $_;
$lpath = $WS_LOCAL . $_;
- I want to diff these files in 2 different paths and store the output in a 3rd file path location, say /home/diff.patch (this is a third path location)
Please help.

For example:
file 1

123456
file 2
123
2345
23456
file 3 should have

23456
