If you use diff -e, and upon output examination, if it is all additions, there will be no change or delete commands. It is not hard to parse an output of only additions in sed or awk.
You can sort the files and send to 'comm -23'. Column 1 should be empty, no lines in a not in b.
In shell, it is very hard to have two input files open, but I think you can using coshell extensions. PERL and other full languages can do it easily.
Good Afternoon Guys:

Hi,
The requirement is to compare two files that has single column of records each. Comparison is to happen on a whole and not line by line.

XDIFF_STRING_DIFF(3) 1 XDIFF_STRING_DIFF(3)xdiff_string_diff - Make unified diff of two stringsSYNOPSIS
string xdiff_string_diff (string $old_data, string $new_data, [int $context = 3], [bool $minimal = false])
DESCRIPTION
Makes an unified diff containing differences between $old_data string and $new_data string and returns it. The resulting diff is human-
readable. An optional $context parameter specifies how many lines of context should be added around each change. Setting $minimal parameter
to true will result in outputting the shortest patch file possible (can take a long time).
PARAMETERS
o $old_data
- First string with data. It acts as "old" data.
o $new_data
- Second string with data. It acts as "new" data.
o $context
- Indicates how many lines of context you want to include in the diff result.
o $minimal
- Set this parameter to TRUE if you want to minimalize the size of the result (can take a long time).
RETURN VALUES
Returns string with resulting diff or FALSE if an internal error happened.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
xdiff_string_diff(3) example
The following code makes unified diff of two articles.
<?php
$old_article = file_get_contents('./old_article.txt');
$new_article = $_REQUEST['article']; /* Let's say that someone pasted a new article to html form */
$diff = xdiff_string_diff($old_article, $new_article, 1);
if (is_string($diff)) {
echo "Differences between two articles:
";
echo $diff;
}
?>
NOTES
Note
This function doesn't work well with binary strings. To make diff of binary strings use xdiff_string_bdiff(3)/xdiff_string_rabd-
iff(3).
