Well, you never mentioned comments.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED MATCHING INPUT AND OUTPUT DATA. We can't see what you want without it.

So I guess that was a shot in the dark. Corona688 is right; we do really need matching input and output data.

Or maybe you could run the following three commands and paste the output over here:

Code:
cat rich-input.txt
 
cat /home/richsark/me/you/Data/dhcp/r1
 
cat /home/richsark/me/you/Data/dhcp/r4

If "/home/richsark/me/you/Data/dhcp" was just an example (as mentioned in your previous post), then replace it with the actual path of "r1". Ditto for "r4".
