Why do some of your output fields have <space> as a replacement for data that is not present (row 2, column C; row 3, column A; and row 3, column B) and other output fields have nothing as a replacement for data that is not present (row 2, column D)?
Why isn't the desired output just:
?
Are the column headers between the two files always distinct? If not, how do common column headers affect the desired output?
Are there always just one header line and one data line in each input file? If not, how is the output supposed to be ordered? All lines from File-1 followed by all lines from File2? Alternating lines from File-1 and File-2? Does something different happen if the number of lines in the two files differs?
Hi All

Hi all,
I am pretty new at this so be gentle. Also, if there is any chance you could explain what the code you use is actually doing, that would really help me out, Im learning after all :)

comm
COMM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COMM(1)NAME
comm -- select or reject lines common to two files
SYNOPSIS
comm [-123i] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The comm utility reads file1 and file2, which should be sorted lexically, and produces three text columns as output: lines only in file1;
lines only in file2; and lines in both files.
The filename ``-'' means the standard input.
The following options are available:
-1 Suppress printing of column 1.
-2 Suppress printing of column 2.
-3 Suppress printing of column 3.
-i Case insensitive comparison of lines.
Each column will have a number of tab characters prepended to it equal to the number of lower numbered columns that are being printed. For
example, if column number two is being suppressed, lines printed in column number one will not have any tabs preceding them, and lines
printed in column number three will have one.
The comm utility assumes that the files are lexically sorted; all characters participate in line comparisons.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of comm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The comm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO cmp(1), diff(1), sort(1), uniq(1)STANDARDS
The comm utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
The -i option is an extension to the POSIX standard.
HISTORY
A comm command appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX.
BUGS
Input lines are limited to LINE_MAX (2048) characters in length.
