Hi,

file1.txt.arch gets transferred from one server to another server through an application.

So requirement is to check what are the changes applied to the transferred file ( file1.txt).

I want to to write an shell script to compare above two files in a way so that three files can be generated with following data -

1) First file should have the records which are missing in file1.txt but available in
file1.txt.arch (Red colored record).

2) Second file should have records which have been modified (Blue colored).

3) Third file should have the common records.

Please help me to provide the solution on this.

Thanks very much in advance.

Ravi
