Yes, that is weird. This is what I get with uname.

Code:
%>uname -a 
Linux zh0tx.xyz.com 2.6.9-67.EL.bz439580.16smp #1 SMP Fri Jul 25 03:21:36 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I think a perl script that would open exception list, take each line and then parse through the "orig" and remove matching entries is what we need.

Code:
(12:39:29\[ddecosta@S.Man)
[~]$ uname -a
SunOS king 5.10 SunOS_Development sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890

pdt:/home/pdt --> uname -a
Linux showrunner 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

pdt:/home/pdt --> egrep --v
egrep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

I'm sure a perl script would work...but it just seems like a canon on a mosquito. I may just be bitter because I never made it past the hello world stage of learning perl though...

I got someone else to try it and it worked for them. So I tried on that exact same machine, but, no, it wouldn't do it for me. So then the only difference that I can see is that they are using CSH whereas I am running tcsh. I wonder if that has anythign to do with it.
Code:
egrep --v
egrep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

Now that we are both using the same version of egrep, the only other diff I see is that I have more patches on my machine than both you and the other person who got it working. May be it is the patch that is messing it up. Hmmmm... I would be surprised if a patch mess up a program like grep!!

PHP Code:
#!/bin/perl -w

################################
use strict;

open FILE1,    '< ignorelist.txt' or die $!;
open OUTFILE,  '>>clean_report.txt' or die $!;

while (<FILE1>)
{
  $FILE1hash{$_}=1;
}
close(<FILE1>);


open FILE2,    '< new_report.txt' or die $!;

while (<FILE2>)
{
  print OUTFILE $_ unless defined($FILE1hash{$_});
}

close FILE2;
close OUTFILE; 
I got a small perl script almost working. But seeing some errors... don't know what yet!

I have no idea what's going on with my system. It just wouldn't do it... strange indeed.. the only thing I can think of is the Linux patch level..
