Data Diff with exceptions Question

So I'm currently developing an automated test system and I'm verifying my results by running a set of baselined data through and comparing the output (which is in a txt file) to a baseline results file. So of course I'm just using the diff command. Unfortunately each time I run the test there are 2 values that are changed. One is a uniq identifier and the other is a timestamp.

What is the best way to have my diff ignore those 2 values? Keep in mind I need to ignore the value and not the line. Dummy Example of the file below and the fields needing to be ignored highlighted in red.

Code:
XXMAP1234
094 LSAT    04Jan1751Z11 UBIB-UBIB
1234
XXCC
//FORMAT = text
//QUALITY = good
//EPT=<core:private ="upt:exo:/root/test/testing/v8" xmlns:session="ppt:exo:/root/Auto/metadata" identifier="4A9FF2D8-9A29-4E71-9546-F97F085C6C8" maliciouscode="none"


Thanks & Regards

NAME
Config::Model::models::Debian::Dpkg::Source::Options - Configuration class Debian::Dpkg::Source::Options VERSION
version 2.021 DESCRIPTION
Configuration classes used by Config::Model list of long options that should be automatically prepended to the set of command line options of a dpkg-source -b or dpkg-source --print-format call. Options like --compression and --compression-level are well suited for this file. Elements diff-ignore - perl regexp to filter out files for the diff perl regular expression to match files you want filtered out of the list of files for the diff.This is very helpful in cutting out extraneous files that get included in the diff, e.g. if you maintain your source in a revision control system and want to use a checkout to build a source package without including the additional files and directories that it will usually contain (e.g. CVS, .cvsignore, .svn/). The default regexp is already very exhaustive, but if you need to replace it, please note that by default it can match any part of a path, so if you want to match the begin of a filename or only full filenames, you will need to provide the necessary anchors (e.g. '(^|/)', '($|/)') yourself.Optional. Type uniline. extend-diff-ignore - Perl regexp to extend the diff-ignore setup The perl regular expression specified will extend the default regular expression associated to diff-ignore by concatenating "|regexp" to the default regexp. This option is convenient to exclude some auto-generated files from the automatic patch generation.Optional. Type uniline. SEE ALSO
