Thank you pamu! One final question: when comparing two files, how can i output lines in a.txt but not in b.txt? (while ignoring the lines common in both files)

Code:
file: a.txt
facebook
youtube
yahoo
google
microsoft

Code:
file: b.txt
yahoo
google
pandora
facebook
yelp

Output would be:
pandora
yelp

I tried comm -23 but I still get "facebook" present in the output file
