Deleting lines of a file if they exist in another file
I have a reference file that needs to remain static and another file that may or may not have duplicate rows that match the reference file. I need help with a command that will delete any duplicate rows from the second file while leaving reference file intact
For example reference file would have a list of colors -
red
green
blue
yellow
purple
And the second file has the follwing list -
red
orange
purple
I would like to see the second file end up with only unique rows -
orange
any help with a statement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
