Supposing one line per file:
Code:
awk '
NR==FNR{sub(/\n/,"");a1[$0]=$0;next}
{sub(/\n/,"");a2[$0]=$0;if ( ! ( $0 in a1 ) ){print "In file 2 but not in 1:"$0}}
END {for ( i in a1 ) 
    if  ( ! ( i in a2 ) ) {print "In file 1 but not in 2:"i}
}' RS=' '  f1 f2

In Python try this:

Code:
from sets import Set
a = Set([1,2,3,4,5,6,80,90])
b = Set([1,2,3,4,5,80,90])
for i, v in enumerate(a^b):
	print v

>>> 6

You may not have wdiff, but you still have diff, yes? "man diff" should give you any information you'll need.

Thanks for looking into it Klashxx,

When I try your suggestion, and say I input these numbers:

255 256 280 290

I get this error:

awk: cmd. line:6: fatal: cannot open file `255' for reading (No such file or directory)

It always says it can't open the first number. I'm not good with awk, do you see where the problem is?

Thanks,

Kweekwom

Hi , u need to put the input lines in files, for ex:

Code:
$ cat file1
255 256 280 290 15
$ cat file2
255 256 280 290 4 5

And then:
Code:
$ awk '
NR==FNR{sub(/\n/,"");a1[$0]=$0;next}
{sub(/\n/,"");a2[$0]=$0;if ( ! ( $0 in a1 ) ){print "In line 2 but not in 1:"$0}}
END {for ( i in a1 ) 
    if  ( ! ( i in a2 ) ) {print "In line 1 but not in 2:"i}
}' RS=' '  file1 file2
In line 2 but not in 1:4
In line 2 but not in 1:5
In line 1 but not in 2:15

Regards
