Thanks for your time DRL. Please let me know if you can crack it. I am also trying my best here.

I came across this error while running this code. Please suggest how to fix it.

Code:
$ ./newfilecompare.bash

Hi Rudi, This time my input being XML, the font tags gets bypassed in my html report. So firstly I converted by difference report into HTML using enscript and in the o/p all symbols "<" and ">" will be converted to underlying code.

Input1:
Code:
<LIST>                                  
<ControlSegment                         
ISACONTROLNUMBER="58677398"             
GSCONTROLNUMBER="58677398"              
groupControlNumber="58677398"           
time="21:31:03.0130000-08:00"  />				
</LIST>

Input2:
Code:
<LIST>
<ControlSegment
ISACONTROLNUMBER="58677399"     
GSCONTROLNUMBER="58677399"      
groupControlNumber="58677399"   
time="21:31:03.2570000-08:00" /> 
entityIdentifierCode2=""
</LIST>

Now I fed the HTML file to awk script, and the output was like each and every lines were appended with <font> tags(this time symbols will not be replaced as underlying code, hence they appear as actual html tags) and when you view it in the browser the whole data appears red. Is there a better way to handle this? I am so stuck here. Thank you.

Code:
awk     'FNR==NR {T[$0]; next}
         $0 in T {printf "\"<font color=\"red\">\"" $0 "\"</font>\""; next} 1 ' <(cat `pwd`/editedfile.html) <(cat `pwd`/editedfile.html)
