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,

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)
