Comparing two test files and printing out the values that do not match
Hi,
I have two text files with matching first columns. Some of the values in the second column do not match. I want to write a script to print out the rows (only the first column) where the values in the second column do not match.
Example:
Hello,
I have two files:
file1
1

file2
"a","b",,,,,"c","1",.....
"s","d",,,,,"s","1",.....
"a","c",,,,,"d","1",....
"f","v",,,,,,"f","2",.....
etc
I have to read "1" from file1 and grab all records in file2 (say column 6 in file2 is "1") until the column changes its value (... (6 Replies)

I then want to time how long each file to process (not sure how time works), as well as how long all the files took as a whole to process.
Here is my code

The other is consisting of one column and multiple lines which can have some numbers appearing more than once.

column
COLUMN(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLUMN(1)NAME
column -- columnate lists
SYNOPSIS
column [-tx] [-c columns] [-s sep] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The column utility formats its input into multiple columns. Rows are filled before columns. Input is taken from file operands, or, by
default, from the standard input. Empty lines are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-c Output is formatted for a display columns wide.
-s Specify a set of characters to be used to delimit columns for the -t option.
-t Determine the number of columns the input contains and create a table. Columns are delimited with whitespace, by default, or with
the characters supplied using the -s option. Useful for pretty-printing displays.
-x Fill columns before filling rows.
ENVIRONMENT
The COLUMNS, LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of column as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The column utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
(printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY " ;
printf "HH:MM/YEAR NAME
" ;
ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t
SEE ALSO colrm(1), ls(1), paste(1), sort(1)HISTORY
The column command appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno.
BUGS
Input lines are limited to LINE_MAX (2048) bytes in length.
