file2 has 7001 lines

i used:

sdiff file1 file2 and it shows diff at line 7001.

also used:

diff file1 file2 > file3
patch -p0 < file3 file1 and it shows diff at line 7001

xscrgen: 9.0.0.6.337 2009-01-21 04:00:00 (200811) <

xscrgen exists in file1 and file2

The files dont have the same format (one is ending with (200811)). Its normal that diff or sdiff will show lots of differences.

Try this:

Code:
$ sed -e "s/(200811)//g" file1 | sort -u > file3
$ sort -u file2 > file4
$ sdiff -s file3 file4
