The output of scenario 1 (dissimilar elements) can be redirected to a file as :
For scenario 2, it is relatively easier as the contents output is the same :

Please use CODE tags (not ICODE tags) when displaying full-line and multi-line sample input, sample output, and code segments.
As long as no line in either of your input files is a substring of a line in the other input file AND there is at least one line in 1.txt that is not present in 2.txt, you will get away with using the 3 grep commands above to do what you are trying to do.
If any of the conditions listed above are violated, you will not get the correct results with the above code. But, the changes I suggested in post #6 for the 1st two grep commands:
would give you correct results.
But, unless there are duplicated lines in one or both of your input files, the single awk script RavinderSingh13 suggested will be faster (only needing 1 process instead of 3 and only reading the 17,500 lines of input from your two files once instead of three times). If what you're saying is that want an output file named 3.txt instead of dissimilar_ones.txt, I would assume that you understand that you can change the string "dissimilar_ones.txt" in Ravinder's awk script in two places to change the name of that output file.
If there are duplicated lines in your input files that need to be preserved, Ravinder's suggested awk script could be modified slightly to handle that case (which was not mentioned in your requirements and input samples) and still the get speed improvements afforded by executing fewer processes and only needing to read your input files once.
Of course, as always, if you're using a Solaris/SunOS system, you'd need to change awk in Ravinder's script to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
Hi,
I need to compare the /etc/passwd files from 2 servers, and extract the users that are similar in these two files. I sorted the 2 files based on the user IDs (UID) (3rd column). I first sorted the files using the username (1st column), however when I use comm to compare the files there is no... (1 Reply)

Hello all,
I have a server that is running AIX, running a tool that converts various printstreams (AFP/Metadata) to PDF. This is done using a rexx script and an off the shelf utility.
Each report (there's around 125) uses a certain script file, it's basically a text file.

I am familiar with scripting, but I am trying to see if there is an easy way to append files from similar files into one file. For example, if there is file1_20121201, file1_20121202, file1_20121203,
file2_20121201, file2_20121202, file2_20121203

I got many pair files, which only have small difference, such as more space, or more empty line, and some unreadable characters.
If list by commend "diff", I can see many many difference.
So I'd like to write a script to compare the pair files, if 95% contents are same, I will think they are... (2 Replies)
