If the format is plain text you can use the diff command.
# diff oldrpt.out newrpt.out |grep ^\> > newdata.out
I believe this will work to save what is new. Very elementary but off the top of my head. that bit in the middle after grep is to pull only the lines shown to be different from the new file.

The line is simple, use " '{ print $1"]"$2"\"$3THE " NEEDS TO GO HERE$4 }'
I've tried \", "\, ^" and '"" but none of it works. What am I missing? Putting in the [ between $1 and $2 works fine, I just need to do the same with a ".
Thanks. (2 Replies)

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
