Hello,
I'm using Sdiff to compare 2 files, I've used this before and it works fine
and still does in some cases.
But it seems to trip up when using combinations of alpha-numeric text.
I created two simple files to test and as you can see it seems to trip up
on the "gr55a" text, any ideas ?

Hi,
I have a file containing a list of entries.
Want to do ls on them.
for a in `cat <list.txt>`; do ls $a; done;
Now some entries contain spaces.

Hi all
I have two files which are essentially the same. However the way an exponent is written is different (i.e. in 1 file, a particular number might be written as 1.43230000E+02 whereas in another it might be 1.4323E2).
If I use SDIFF then the program will merely check the ASCII characters... (1 Reply)
I am trying to copy a filesystem from one server to another using rsync over the WAN. As far as I can tell, the two filesystems are identical but for some reason I cannot copy the last file because I keep running out of space.

Hi,
I'm trying to use sdiff by parsing the output of another command instead of the filename:
sdiff <(echo test1) <(echo test2)However, this seems to cause my terminal session to stop working.
If I use it with normal diff it works fine:
~$ diff <(echo test1) <(echo test2)

XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed
directly to cmp or diff. If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported com-
pression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
SEE ALSO cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
