Yes the output is multiline.
I have a basic knowledge in Unix.
I am not able compare the two files present in two different directories.
I know nl is the command to get the line number.But how to compare the files and how to get the output in the required syntax?
---------- Post updated at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous update was at 05:58 AM ----------
I have created 2 directories named dir1 and a subdirectory dir2. First i used a command diff -r ./dir1 dir2
Because it am in dir2 i dint used ./
As i read -r buffer is used to compare recursively the subdirectories.
I am getting an error said dir1 not found.
Then i used grep command and i got the same error.
I have strucked at comparing the files.
