I want to find the difference between two files, only for the header (column names)
Hi All,
I want to find the difference between two files, by checking only the headers (column names) and report if any new column is added in the latest file.
For Ex: If the file "declartion.txt has these columns
and the actual file "feed.txt" has a newly added column either in the middle or in the last like
The declaration file which will have only the header (column names), but the "feed.txt" will have column names and the values for those columns under each column. Comparison is required only for the column names (header) and not any values.
After the comparison the shell script should should report the newly added column For Ex: "colour" in a file called "report_column_mis-match.txt". Once the report file is created I the shell script should further remove the new column which is added by the data provider along with it's values.
The data provider is adding columns each now and then not informing us in advance which is creating the problem while loading the file in to mysql database. since the values get loaded haywire when the new column added in the data file but the same is not added in the mysql table.
I finding this bit complicated since I am not a shell script expert. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Praveen
