Let me rephrase my question.

I am using the below code to find the difference between two files prod.properties and back.properties.

Code:
nawk '/^#/ {next} NR==FNR {prod[$0]=$0;next} {if ($0 in prod) { delete prod[$0] } else {print }}; END {for (i in prod) print prod[i]}' prod.properties back.properties

Source: https://www.unix.com/302903183-post5.html

Now, the requirement is to automate the above code so that it does the job for any two file names not neccessarily prod.properties and back.properties

I am passing any two filenames like this.

Code:
./check.sh filename1.properties filename2.txt

and reading them in variables file1=$1, file2=$2.

So, how can I achieve that ?
