When I do this command as shown above:

Code:
awk '$NF!~"^--" {print $NF}' RS= myFile

then it does only get the difference field but it still prints the Difference column name. I'm hoping to just the the value of the difference field.

strange - I get only the value (no header) given your sample file.
Could you post the output of cat -vet myFile using code tags.

Good catch...so here's the updated awk recipe:
Code:
awk '{if($NF==0 || $NF+0) print $NF}' file
