How to Compare two files depend on line length Chars
I need to compare two files with exactly same length as example: -

File1 contain 500 records with length of 640 chars of each line.
File2 contain 1500 records with length of 640 chars of each line.

I need get an output to be written in File3 which will contain 1000 records difference.
but my diff will be based on line length which is 630 chars and ignore the remaining 10 chars in comparing.
However, file3 I wanted to include all 1000 records with 640 chars lenght for each line.

Thanks in advance

vcf-compare

VCF-COMPARE(1)							   User Commands						    VCF-COMPARE(1)

NAME

       vcf-compare - compare bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF files

SYNOPSIS

       compare-vcf [OPTIONS] file1.vcf file2.vcf ...

DESCRIPTION

       About: Compare bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF files. (E.g. bgzip file.vcf; tabix -p vcf file.vcf.gz)

OPTIONS

       -c, --chromosomes <list|file>
	      Same as -r, left for backward compatibility. Please do not use as it will be dropped in the future.

       -d, --debug
	      Debugging information. Giving the option multiple times increases verbosity

       -H, --cmp-haplotypes
	      Compare haplotypes, not only positions

       -m, --name-mapping <list|file>
	      Use  with -H when comparing files with differing column names. The argument to this options is a comma-separated list or one mapping
	      per line in a file. The names are colon separated and must appear in the same order as the files on the command line.

       -R, --refseq <file>
	      Compare the actual sequence, not just positions. Use with -w to compare indels.

       -r, --regions <list|file>
	      Process the given regions (comma-separated list or one region per line in a file).

       -s, --samples <list>
	      Process only the listed samples. Excluding unwanted samples may increase performance considerably.

       -w, --win <int>
	      In repetitive sequences, the same indel can be called at different positions. Consider records this far apart as matching (be  it  a
	      SNP or an indel).

       -h, -?, --help
