filter data
Hi

I have two files and their names are donotcall.txt, filter_it.txt. I want output.txt file with all data that is in filter_it.txt file but not in donotcall.txt. Can anybody help me to write 1-2 lines unix code for this.


donotcall.txt contains following data. Each row represent phone numbers.
321,2020331
321,2020344
321,2020407
321,2020473
321,2020474
321,2020475
321,2020490
321,2020503
321,2020505
321,2020506
321,2020511



filter_it.txt contains following data
407,6285433
866,3433700
321,2020505
866,5225433
407,6540820
407,2659599
321,2020407

I want output.txt file with all data that is in filter_it.txt file but not in donotcall.txt. Can anybody help me to write 1-2 lines unix code for this.

eg.
407,6285433
866,3433700
321,2020505 <------ Remove it because it is present in rejected.txt
866,5225433
407,6540820
407,2659599
321,2020407 <------ Remove it because it is present in rejected.txt


Thanks

filter data
I tried with comm, it didn't worked. Maybe i am not expert with comm.

I tried following syntax with comm -

sort filter_it.txt > sort_filter_it.txt
sort donotcall.txt > sort_donotcall.txt
comm -23 sort_filter_it.txt sort_donotcall.txt > output.txt

It didn't worked. Is their anything wrong with my syntax ? Can somebody help again.

Thanks
