Shell Programming and Scripting

Why dont you give it a try... I have given you the output, you just have to format it.

I got it! I used the 'sort'. Thanks thanks!

Great...

Did you check content in file3 because I redirected output to file 3?
I tested the code with the inputs you have given and I could match your output also..

If you want the result to be printed on the screen then remove the "> file3" part from the code and run it..

@ king kalyan: it worked! but i have to sort 1st. Thanks for the help

This code works in case of difference is found how about those records tht are missing that is also part of it right??
For Ex:

File1

abc 123 678
abc 112 111
xyz 100 000

File2

abc 123 678
abc 112 112

Output of above code will be:

abc 112 111 | abc 112 112

But Output shud be

abc 112 111 | abc 112 112
xyz 100 100 |

Please help with that code....... As xyz 100 100 is also a difference as it is missing in 2nd file....

hmm...
that was limited to my understanding of king's problem.
You can very well Try... No, sorting, no formatting...

Code:

$ grep -v -f file1 file2
abc 112 112
$ grep -v -f file2 file1
abc 112 111
xyz 100 000
