Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

So I I received two lists for my merchandise and both are similar but differences do occur. I want to combine two lists that have similar names but I dont want the similar name to come up twice because I will end up purchasing two of those items. Heres an example below (file is massive).

list 1

Code:

hi
no
go
eat 
bat
but
yack

list 2

Code:

hi
no
herring
durian
bear
go

combined

Code:

hi
no
go
eat 
bat
but
yack
herring
durian
bear

Some names are common but I only want them to come up once in my combined list.

thanks

Kyle

I think a simple sort unique will work:

Code:

sort -u file1 file2
