Does anyone have a trick to run sdiff to display the filenames as a header?
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is anyway to run sdiff such that it shows the name of the files as it display the results of the differences? That is, I want it to show the filenames on each column and then display the differences
I can't find any option that allows this. Maybe someone has a trick of some sort to make this happen?
If not sdiff, maybe there is another command that I can use that functions the same as sdiff but does what am after?
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 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)

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)

sdiff(1) User Commands sdiff(1)NAME
sdiff - print differences between two files side-by-side
SYNOPSIS
sdiff [-l] [-s] [-o output] [-w n] filename1 filename2
DESCRIPTION
sdiff uses the output of the diff command to produce a side-by-side listing of two files indicating lines that are different. Lines of the
two files are printed with a blank gutter between them if the lines are identical, a < in the gutter if the line appears only in filename1,
a > in the gutter if the line appears only in filename2, and a | for lines that are different. (See the EXAMPLES section below.)
OPTIONS -l Print only the left side of any lines that are identical.to
-s Do not print identical lines.
-o output Use the argument output as the name of a third file that is created as a user-controlled merge of filename1 and filename2.
Identical lines of filename1 and filename2 are copied to output. Sets of differences, as produced by diff, are printed;
where a set of differences share a common gutter character. After printing each set of differences, sdiff prompts the user
with a % and waits for one of the following user-typed commands:
l Append the left column to the output file.
r Append the right column to the output file.
s Turn on silent mode; do not print identical lines.
v Turn off silent mode.
e l Call the editor with the left column.
e r Call the editor with the right column.
e b Call the editor with the concatenation of left and right.
e Call the editor with a zero length file.
q Exit from the program.
On exit from the editor, the resulting file is concatenated to the end of the output file.
-w n Use the argument n as the width of the output line. The default line length is 130 characters.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of sdiff when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: An example of the sdiff command.
A sample output of sdiff follows.
x | y
a a
b <
c <
d d
> c
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
If any of the LC_* variables ( LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE, LC_NUMERIC,
and LC_MONETARY ) (see environ(5)) are not set in the environment, the operational behavior of sdiff for each corresponding locale cate-
gory is determined by the value of the LANG environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, its contents are used to override both the LANG and
the other LC_* variables. If none of the above variables is set in the environment, the "C" locale determines how sdiff behaves.
LC_CTYPE Determines how sdiff handles characters. When LC_CTYPE is set to a valid value, sdiff can display and handle text and file-
names containing valid characters for that locale.
