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:
hi
i have data which is in two columns (such as below). i need to compare two rows against each other and if one row matches the other row (except for different case), and their values in the second column are different, then it prints out one of the rows (either is fine).

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

I need to merge the lines whose string part is the same, while updating the frequency. The output should look like this:

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.

comm
comm(1) General Commands Manual comm(1)NAME
comm - select or reject lines common to two sorted files
SYNOPSIS
file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
comm reads file1 and file2, which should be ordered in increasing collating sequence (see sort(1) and Environment Variables below), and
produces a three-column output:
Column 1: Lines that appear only in file1,
Column 2: Lines that appear only in file2,
Column 3: Lines that appear in both files.
If is used for file1 or file2, the standard input is used.
Options 1, 2, or 3 suppress printing of the corresponding column. Thus prints only the lines common to the two files; prints only lines in
the first file but not in the second; does nothing useful.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
determines the collating sequence expects from the input files.
determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default. If is not specified or is set to
the empty string, a default of ``C'' (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to ``C''. See environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
EXAMPLES
The following examples assume that and have been ordered in the collating sequence defined by the or environment variable.
Print all lines common to and (in other words, print column 3):
Print all lines that appear in but not in (in other words, print column 1):
Print all lines that appear in but not in (in other words, print column 2):
