Question Problems in "comm"
With respect to my other query I was trying to compare the data in files with "comm" command.

Code:
File -1: (InCU_notDB)

123456

Command used:
comm -12 InCU_notDB InCU_notDB1>c
more c

Output:

Question:
Why isnt the value "123456" not included in the output file c?

BTW, I manually added "123456" by using the vi editor. Rest of the values were created by some other code. Just for learning I modified the values to check how it works.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

If you don't mind the alphabetically ordered output:
Code:
comm -12 <(sort -u InCU_notDB) <(sort -u InCU_notDB1)

Code:
awk 'FNR==NR{f1[$0];next}$0 in f1' InCU_notDB InCU_notDB1
