Comparing two files using AWK

[RJSHA1]

Hi there,
I need to compare two files - containing bank sort codes and action codes - and I need to compare all the lines from file 1 with all the lines in file 2 and put all the lines that are different in file 3 e.g new sort code, different action code . One of our DBA's has said use AWK, but I have had only minimal exposure to it. Does any one have an example script that I could use/look at, or do they have any tips on how to do this.

Thanks
Bob...

Hi Bob,

Try the comm command ('man comm' for info)
