Hi,
I want to write a script which will compare the 1st column of both the files and will give the difference.
e.g:-
my 1st file contains:
89 /usr
52 /usr/local
36 /tmp
92 /opt
96 /home
27 /etc/opt/EMCom

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
Though the output doesn't have to be sent to a .txt (or any sort of log), I found that easier, at least... (2 Replies)
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!

Hi experts,
I am trying to compare two text files and output the difference to another file.
I'm not strictly looking for differences in text but additional text at the end of one file that isn't in another, so basically comparing the file 2 against file 1 and printing any additional text to... (9 Replies)

diff3
DIFF3(1) GNU Tools DIFF3(1)NAME
diff3 - find differences between three files
SYNOPSIS
diff3 [options] mine older yours
DESCRIPTION
The diff3 command compares three files and outputs descriptions of their differences.
The files to compare are mine, older, and yours. At most one of these three file names may be -, which tells diff3 to read the standard
input for that file.
Options
Below is a summary of all of the options that GNU diff3 accepts. Multiple single letter options (unless they take an argument) can be com-
bined into a single command line argument.
-a Treat all files as text and compare them line-by-line, even if they do not appear to be text.
-A Incorporate all changes from older to yours into mine, surrounding all conflicts with bracket lines.
-B Old behavior of -A. Shows non-conflicts.
-e Generate an ed script that incorporates all the changes from older to yours into mine.
-E Like -e, except bracket lines from overlapping changes' first and third files. With -e, an overlapping change looks like this:
<<<<<<< mine
lines from mine
=======
lines from yours
>>>>>>> yours
--ed Generate an ed script that incorporates all the changes from older to yours into mine.
--easy-only
Like -e, except output only the nonoverlapping changes.
-i Generate w and q commands at the end of the ed script for System V compatibility. This option must be combined with one of the
-AeExX3 options, and may not be combined with -m.
--initial-tab
Output a tab rather than two spaces before the text of a line in normal format. This causes the alignment of tabs in the line to
look normal.
-L label
--label=label
Use the label label for the brackets output by the -A, -E and -X options. This option may be given up to three times, one for each
input file. The default labels are the names of the input files. Thus diff3 -L X -L Y -L Z -m A B C acts like diff3 -m A B C ,
except that the output looks like it came from files named X, Y and Z rather than from files named A, B and C.
-m
--merge
Apply the edit script to the first file and send the result to standard output. Unlike piping the output from diff3 to ed, this
works even for binary files and incomplete lines. -A is assumed if no edit script option is specified.
--overlap-only
Like -e, except output only the overlapping changes.
--show-all
Incorporate all unmerged changes from older to yours into mine, surrounding all overlapping changes with bracket lines.
--show-overlap
Like -e, except bracket lines from overlapping changes' first and third files.
-T Output a tab rather than two spaces before the text of a line in normal format. This causes the alignment of tabs in the line to
look normal.
--text Treat all files as text and compare them line-by-line, even if they do not appear to be text.
-v
--version
Output the version number of diff3.
-x Like -e, except output only the overlapping changes.
-X Like -E, except output only the overlapping changes. In other words, like -x, except bracket changes as in -E.
-3 Like -e, except output only the nonoverlapping changes.

DIAGNOSTICS
An exit status of 0 means diff3 was successful, 1 means some conflicts were found, and 2 means trouble.
