Yes it is, however your reply is not acceptable for this forum, aka man comm, read the manual, RTM, etc

This message has been deleted by Neo. Reason: Not acceptable reply

Next time try to provide a solution or try to explain the solution:

Code:

comm -23 File_A File_B > File_New_A

comm -13 File_A File_B > File_New_B

, quote from man and after that suggest the user to read the manual , even provide a link to man comm
