Actually the input files are not correctly formatted , to format my files i have done below steps
1) my input files(file1,file2) has <=80 columns
so i increased my default columns in putty terminal to 180 by reducing the font and increasing system resolution since set COLUMNS was not working
2) since sdiff was working good for checking the differences and its formatting the data in input files to ignore spaces..etc
similarly i swapped the files and got the (file2) to sdiff_file2
i have checked the output of both files , it contains "(" character at column 83
To cut the character at 83 , i used colrm
then to eliminate ^M ,
finally after this steps i got the formatted text in Tr_file1 and Tr_file2
Now i sent the Tr_file1 and Tr_file2 to awk script you gave and it worked perfectly !!!
Question : please suggest me any better ways than my above steps for formatting files ( bulk files)
The only Issue:
The output_file2 contains 82 Columns fixed ( because we used cut 82) but the actual file1 ( without formatted ) does not contain any spaces
for example:
line1 code is for 10 columns in file1 ( not formatted one), its fixed to 10 but in output_file2 its 82
is there anyway to reduces the spaces of code in output_file2 to restrict to show only the columns it used not 82 for using 10 character (columns ).

This seems pretty simple, but I cant figure it out. I get stumped on the simple things.
I am running two commands
1) take a listing a directory of files, and filter out the doc_name (which is in a series of extracted files), and place it in a file.

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
comm
comm(1) User Commands comm(1)NAME
comm - select or reject lines common to two files
SYNOPSIS
comm [-123] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The comm utility reads file1 and file2, which must be ordered in the current collating sequence, and produces three text columns as output:
lines only in file1; lines only in file2; and lines in both files.
If the input files were ordered according to the collating sequence of the current locale, the lines written will be in the collating
sequence of the original lines. If not, the results are unspecified.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-1 Suppresses the output column of lines unique to file1.
-2 Suppresses the output column of lines unique to file2.
-3 Suppresses the output column of lines duplicated in file1 and file2.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file1 A path name of the first file to be compared. If file1 is -, the standard input is used.
file2 A path name of the second file to be compared. If file2 is -, the standard input is used.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of comm when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Printing a list of utilities specified by files
If file1, file2, and file3 each contain a sorted list of utilities, the command
example% comm -23 file1 file2 | comm -23 - file3
prints a list of utilities in file1 not specified by either of the other files. The entry:
example% comm -12 file1 file2 | comm -12 - file3
prints a list of utilities specified by all three files. And the entry:
example% comm -12 file2 file3 | comm -23 -file1
prints a list of utilities specified by both file2 and file3, but not specified in file1.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of comm: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 All input files were successfully output as specified.
>0 An error occurred.
