diff usage

[qkslvrwolf]

yeah, so can someone give me a more down to earth explanation of diff? I'm trying to compare 2 files of aournd 5000+ lines lenght, which should (I hope) be similar if not identical. I do not understand diff, however, and man pages are...poorly written.

Thanks!

how does this relate to C?

Pls post a more detailed question on the relevant forum [UNIX Scripting OR General UNIX discussion] vlad

Umm...well..
1) I've been using this forum
2) The guys here know unix
3) Didn't think that it was that big a deal

Oh, yeah, I figured it out anyway, so its a moot point
