I am using "grep -vF -f *.txt" command to compare,
but here is some issue, comparison is not working correctly...i want to compare file1 with file2, only column 2/3 in file2 should compare, if there is any difference should get output in file3.

I give up. After two weeks of wasting our time, you now completely change the requirements used to determine the output you want. And you still haven't answered the basic question of how we are supposed to know which of the two files in a directory is the "1st" file and which is the "2nd" file.
If you want help on this new problem, start a new thread. In that thread:
Give a complete description of what your input files look like (expected sizes, field separators, sample contents, filename format).
Give a complete description of the processing that needs to be performed to produce the results you want.
Show sample output that should be produced when your input files are processed as you described.
1.Give a complete description of what your input files look like (expected sizes, field separators, sample contents, filename format).
One of our unix script will get 2 files from windows server and place in unix folder1(Everyday it will clean the folder and place only 2 files). these 2 files names change daily as file names contains date timestamp(File names like 'Jun_Agg_06_19_2013_1944.txt'),file size depends on data we get daily, it varies from 5MB -60MB filesize. so now we need to compare these two files and get output in 3rd file.
Input files contains only 5 columns with '|' delimeter, column1, 4,5 can be same, but we used to get difference in input files in column2 and 3, based on column 2 and column 3, file1 should compare with file2 and get result in file3.
2.Give a complete description of the processing that needs to be performed to produce the results you want.
Explained complete process above
3.Show sample output that should be produced when your input files are processed as you described.
Thanks mjf, its working perfectly for comparison, can do manually.
But my requirement is to automate that file comparison, how can we automate this by using above script as i can't hard coded the file names as daily file names will change with time stamp?? please help.
Example today will get files like below...
Aggr_New_06_19_2013_1944.txt
Aggr_New_06_20_2013_1956.txt
next day again it will come like...
Aggr_New_06_20_2013_1956.txt
Aggr_New_06_21_2013_1952.txt
it will keep on change daily with date time stamp.
Hi all,
I have a log file say Test.log that gets updated continuously and it has data in pipe separated format. A sample log file would look like:
<date1>|<data1>|<url1>|<result1>
<date2>|<data2>|<url2>|<result2>
<date3>|<data3>|<url3>|<result3>
<date4>|<data4>|<url4>|<result4>
