When I run this i get a message saying
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
Am I running this in the wrong shell?
I tried changing the first line to
But that gives error messages stating the same as above but for line 6, so I remove that variable line from the code and just write the output file name in by hand at the end but then I get an error same as above for line 10.

I have to compare two files for any differences, then output the lab and question number for any differences. This is what I currently have:
diff lab2.txt lab2answer.txt > lab2compare.txt

Hi there,
I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I can't find any posts with information.
How can I check the differences between say lines 20 - 200 in file1 and lines 420 - 600 in file2?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I know the diff does this but it does output more info than just the different text
(e.g.
$ diff file1 file2
29a30
> /home/alex/Pictures/hello.jpg
1694a1696
> /home/alex/Pictures/hi.jpg
)
How can I make it output only
/home/alex/Pictures/hello.jpg
/home/alex/Pictures/hi.jpg
?

mincdiff
MINCDIFF(1) MINC User's Guide MINCDIFF(1)NAME
mincdiff - report differences between minc files
SYNOPSIS
mincdiff [-header|-body] [-l] [diff options] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The mincdiff shell script compares two minc files by running diff(1) on the headers of the two minc files, and cmp(1) on the image vari-
able. You can view only the header differences using -header or only the body (image variable) differences using -body. The option -l is
passed on to cmp of the image variable. Any unrecognized options (e.g. -u) are passed verbatim to the diff of the headers.
OPTIONS -header Compare only the headers of the two files.
-body Compare only the image data of the two files.
-l Print the byte offset in decimal and the byte value in octal
for each difference encountered in the image variable.
