Comm LC_ALL=C still not working
i have now tried LC_ALL=C sort text1.txt > text1new.txt
fallowed by LC_ALL=C sort text2.txt > text2new.txt
and the LC_ALL=C comm -13 text1new.txt text2new.txt
(i have tried multiple options -23, -13, -13i, -23i)

but still i get the full list (text2new.txt) with comm -23 ... and only one return for comm -13.

Is there something i could be overlooking. comm doesn't seem to be working, but according to everything i can find out about it, it should.

help greatly appreciated.

You wouldn't happen to have weird control characters or whitespace differences in the files? See if cat -v (or cat -a, or cat -A, or what have you) or od reveals anything.
