They're information on the differences between the files (line numbers in both files, deleted marker, and what the lines were). Check your system documentation for diff (man diff).

Ofcourse , CarloM is right. diff command tells us the differences between two files.So if we remove 6,7d5 or any such information from output the remaining information will be useless.Although the above code completes the asked requirement.
sorry friends...I made a mistake...I didnot paid attention on the line "can you please tell me why I'm getting them" of post #3.That is why I have written above not required code.
Now
Here is an explanation of output of diff command:
means append line1 and line2 after line 0 of first file
means change line 2 of first file with line 4 of 2nd file
and
means delete line 4 of first file
so, here a means append, c means change and d means delete
number before a or d or c refers to line number in file1
number before a or d or c refers to line number in file2
Finally, if you follow the modifications suggested by diff, then you are going to make both queried files identical.
