I am attempting to use diff for the purpose of spell checking. Here is what I have thus far. I am using the Bourne shell (sh).
I am comparing my list of words (list.txt) with another list (a dictionary).
Here is what is contained in list.txt:
I get output like the following: (just a part of the output)
I thought that the "<" meant that the word was found in my file but not in the dictionary and thus not a correctly spelled word. However, it is doing this for "brown" as well as others later down the list. I also think that the ">" means that the word is in the dictionary but not in my file, meaning just that I can ignore it. I need some way of getting words that aren't in the dictionary using the diff utility.
I am trying to use the diff command to find the differences between two txt files. From here, I wish to use the ed command to create the first file from the second file.
I am fairly new to unix, and I haven't got a clue how to do this. Can anyone help me please?

Hello,
I want to compare two files. All records in file 2 that are not in file 1 should be output to file 3.
For example:

123
1234

123

2345
23456

svn diff does not work very well with 2 local folders, so I am trying to do this diff using diff locally.
