If you want lines in common, there's a different utility for that, comm. It outputs three columns, lines unique to file1, lines unique to file2, and lines common to both. You can suppress any of these, so:

I have a large file (10M lines) that contains two columns: a frequency and a string, ex:
3 aaaaa
4 bbbbb
2 ccccc

Hi,
When I run the diff command using diff -yt file1 file2, I get the output in which original lines are truncated.
I tried using -W switch with diff. However, that does not produce exact output as I want. Is it possible to show entire line of file1 and file2 in diff command's output?

I am a new user of Unix/Linux, so this question might be a bit simple!
I am trying to join two (very large) files that both have different # of cols and rows in each file.
I want to keep 'all' rows and 'all' cols from both files in the joint file, and the primary key variables are in the rows.... (1 Reply)
Is there a way to tell diff to show differences one line at a time and not to group them? For example, I have two files:
file1:
line 1
line 2
line 3 diff
line 4 diff
line 5 diff
line 6
line 7
file2:
line 1
line 2
line 3 diff.
line 4 diff.
line 5 diff.
line 6
line 7 (13 Replies)

As part of some report generation, I've written a script to fetch the values from DB. But, unluckily, for certain Time ranges(1-9.99,10-19.99 etc), I don't have data in DB.
In such cases, I would like to write zero (0) instead of empty. The desired output will be exported to csv file.

DIFF(1) General Commands Manual DIFF(1)NAME
diff - print differences between two files
SYNOPSIS
diff [-c | -e | -C n] [-br]file1 file2
OPTIONS -C n Produce output that contains n lines of context
-b Ignore white space when comparing
-c Produce output that contains three lines of context
-e Produce an ed-script to convert file1 into file2
-r Apply diff recursively to files and directories of
EXAMPLES
diff file1 file2 # Print differences between 2 files
diff -C 0 file1 file2
# Same as above
diff -C 3 file1 file2
# Output three lines of context with every
diff -c file1 file2 # Same
diff /etc /dev # Compares recursively the directories /etc and /dev
diff passwd /etc # Compares ./passwd to /etc/passwd
DESCRIPTION
the same name, when file1 and file2 are both directories" difference encountered"
Diff compares two files and generates a list of lines telling how the two files differ. Lines may not be longer than 128 characters. If
the two arguments on the command line are both directories, diff recursively steps through all subdirectories comparing files of the same
name. If a file name is found only in one directory, a diagnostic message is written to stdout. A file that is of either block special,
character special or FIFO special type, cannot be compared to any other file. On the other hand, if there is one directory and one file
given on the command line, diff tries to compare the file with the same name as file in the directory directory.
