Re: [PLUG] Using diff


Martin,

Good tip!  I've used uniq forever, but forgot about (or never knew)
the -u option.  Good stuff!

If you know one list contains the other entirely, and neither has its own repetitions, ‘sort first second | uniq -u’ oughta work just fine.

I usually end up doing this in Perl or Python. The diff solution is
nice. If you're interested, I've attached a little Perl script I just
whipped up. It has the advantage of not requiring the lists to be
sorted.

Then I wrote a Python version, too. :)

This has worked for me before:

diff -Nau first second | grep '^+'

This assumes that first and second are sorted.

I used the sort command to make two lists.  One list has everything on
the first list and more.  They are already alphabetically sorted.  I want to know what is on the second list that is not on the first list.  I am trying to use diff but perhaps there is a better way.   I tried awk and an ugly egrep and now I am giving up and asking for help.  Thanks for your
time.

Sincerely,

Michael Lazin
