Maintaining file structure
Hi guys,

I am trying to store some output in a file and then compare it to another file.

I am gathering information from 2 commands:

Code:
cat /opt/jbin/server.log.tmp > A
grep "ephemeral" /opt/jbin/log/server.log.2015-05-02-18 > B

The contents of both file are the same. This means if I do a diff between A and B, I should get back nothing.

But doing a diff results in:


Code:
[user@server ~]$ diff A B
1c1,7

Looks like a diff is occuring just because the structure of the file is different rather than contents being the same.

How can I manage to keep the structure of the file in tack ?

If you sort the files before comparing, they will be in the same order and therefore identical.

No. Sorting a file will not turn a single line in one file into seven lines in another file.

And, neither cat nor grep will split or combine lines. So..., the format of Junaid Subhani's two files (/opt/jbin/server.log.tmp and /opt/jbin/log/server.log.2015-05-02-18) is different; and cat and grep are not going to reformat those files to Junaid Subhani's unspecified desired file format.

Are you sure file A is a true *nix text file and not contaminated with strange control chars from other OS?
