So the output from sdiff looks like the output from diff -y to me. I've not seen any options in them or comm that would help.
It depends what you are trying to achieve on how we approach this. They all just want two files, so I'm hoping you either know the file names or use variable in a script to run sdiff already.
You might have some joy with something like:-
It's not pretty, but that might give you what you need.
If this doesn't deliver, can you show us some sample input and desired output along with any thing you have tried and why they do not give you what you want.
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)

ZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual ZDIFF(1)NAME
zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Zcmp and zdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on files compressed via gzip. All options specified are passed directly to
cmp or diff. If only file1 is specified, it is compared to the uncompressed contents of file1.gz. If two files are specified, their con-
tents (uncompressed if necessary) are fed to cmp or diff. The input files are not modified. The exit status from cmp or diff is pre-
served.
SEE ALSO cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1)BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs may refer to file names such as "-" instead of to the file names specified.
