Code:
     nawk -F, '
        {_[NR] = $0}
        NR != FNR {
                printf("<%s> <%s> <", $0, _[FNR] )
                gsub("\"","",$1)
                split(_[FNR],a)
                for ( i = 1 ; i <= NF ; i++ )
                        printf("%s%s", a[i] == $i ? "SAME" : "NOT SAME", i == NF ? ">\n" : "," )   ## without trailing , 
        } ' B.CSV A.CSV

If you want the trailing , then use this as the final print statement: -

Code:
 printf("%s%s", a[i] == $i ? "SAME," : "NOT SAME,", i == NF ? ">\n" : "" ) ## with trailing ,

Output: -

Code:
<"1","2009/1/12","DATA",+10.00> <1,"2009/1/12","DATA",+99.00> <SAME,SAME,SAME,NOT SAME,>
<"2","2009/1/12","DATA",+11.00> <2,"2009/1/12","DATA",+11.00> <SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,>
<"3","2009/1/12","DATA",+12.00> <3,"2009/1/12","DATA",+12.00> <SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,>
<"4","2009/1/12","DATA",+13.00> <4,"2009/1/12","DATA",+13.00> <SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,>

Hi

Thanks for the response.We do not have nawk programming installed in our Server so unable to use the code.

we used the code
Code:
paste -d "\t" A.csv B.csv C.csv  > D.csv

But the output has a special character (looking like a box) also being printed such as following first line
Code:
<first line of A.csv> <(special char)first line of B.csv> <(special char)first line of C.csv>

the special character appears only for the first column of the B.csv and C.csv

Please help!!!

Thanks again.

I think your OS does not support "tab" character "\t". Simply try to change Delimeter, you can use only a space if its ok for you:

Code:
paste -d " " A.csv B.csv C.csv  > D.csv

In case you want to investigate; what is the output of the following command ?

Code:
head -1 D.csv | od -bc

Did you try removing the n from nawk and seeing if it runs?

I know it's a couple of weeks old and that the original problem has been solved, but the revival of this thread brought it to my attention and i thought i'd toss one in anyway Smilie
Code:
$ paste -d, a b | awk -F, '{for(i=1;i<=NF/2;i++) printf("%sSAME,",$i!=$(i+NF/2)?"NOT ":""); print ""}'
SAME,SAME,SAME,NOT SAME,
SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,
SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,
SAME,SAME,SAME,SAME,

Cheers,
Alister
