Full Discussion: Print lines present in first that match second variable. And ones that does not exist in second.
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Print lines present in first that match second variable. And ones that does not exist in second. Post 302980551 by RudiC on Tuesday 30th of August 2016 06:12:39 AM

Three double quotes will work exactly as one double quote does, as the first and last pair will enclose the empty string; and shell expansions will be done in both. To avoid expansions, use single quotes.

I think chances to get help here are better if you post your own attempts, be they faulty or elegant.

Similar problems have been solved in here umpteen times, c.f. this recent thread and the links in its bottom part.

dp

dp(8)							      System Manager's Manual							     dp(8)

NAME

       dp - parse dates RFC 822-style

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/dp [-form file] [-format string] [-help] [-width columns] dates

OPTIONS

       Overrides  the  default	output format of dp.  The output is formatted according to the instructions in the specified file.  This must be a
       format file; see mh-format(4).  Overrides the default output format of dp.  The output is formatted according to the  instructions  in  the
       specified string.  This must be a format string; see mh-format(4).

	      The argument to the -format option must be interpreted as a single token by the shell that invokes dp. Therefore, you should usually
	      place the argument to this option inside double quotes (").  Prints a list of the valid options  to  this  command.   Specifies  the
	      width of the screen in columns.

       The defaults for this command are as follows:

       -width defaults to the width of the terminal

DESCRIPTION

       The dp command parses dates according to the ARPA Internet standard.  It also understands many non-standard formats, such as those produced
       by TOPS-20 sites and some UNIX sites using ctime(3). It is useful for seeing how MH will interpret a date.

       The dp program treats each argument as a single date, and prints the date out in the official RFC 822 format. Hence, it is usually best	to
       enclose each argument in double quotes (") for the shell.

EXAMPLES

       This is the default format string used by dp:

       %<(nodate{text})error: %{text}%|%(pretty{text})%>

       When an error is detected, this prints error: and the date that is in error. Otherwise, it outputs the proper RFC 822 format of the date.
