Hi doganaym,
Thanks for the quick reply..the first two commands seem to be working...and the files are sorted..
But I am afraid even after neither third command as you provided worked nor the 'diff' command.

Hi again,
command is working all fine for the example file that I provided here.
Not sure, why its not working on my huge list of files..
Checking ! Thanks again for your help,
emily

I tried that as well, no use..
Somehow the file1 has 1636 entries and the second file has 1538 entries..differnce is of around ~100.
But the comm, diff, and your new command all are giving the final difference file with entries more than 2000..
thats annoying..not sure wats happening..
emily..
Sorry,to be precise, the difference is comign at the moment is 10556 entries..
