Hello,

Please use code tags for commands and code as per forum rules.
Following may help you.

Code:
awk -F"|" 'NR==FNR{a[$0];next} !($0 in a){print $1}' check_check_compare121134 check_check_compare121135

Output will be as follows.

Code:
15291398
15275561
15275577

Where check_check_compare121134 is file1 and check_check_compare121135 is file2.



Thanks,
R. Singh
