Script to find NOT common strings in two files
Hi all,
I'd like you to help or give any advise about the following:
I have two (2) files,
file1 and
file2, both files have information common to each other. The contents of
file1 is a subset of the contents of
file2:
file1:
errormsgadmin
esdp
esgservices
esignipa
iprice
ipvpn
irm
ishare
james
jasper
jcms
file2:
esolutions
mboards
metric
metrics
mib
mms
errormsgadmin
esdp
esgservices
esign
esolutions
esolutions
ess
ewebsync
framework
gchwf
global
I would like to make a script that displays all content that is in file2 but is not in file1. Or rather, to erase the contents from file2 that is included in the file1.
the output would look like this:
esolutions
ess
ewebsync
framework
gchwf
global
mboards
metric
metrics
mib
mms
Any sugestion is welcome, thank you.

XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)
NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xzdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed
directly to cmp(1) or diff(1). If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported
compression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved.
The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
