Hi,

Is there a way to write a script which reads line by line fromtwo different files, compares the two inputs and reports if there are different.

Thanks.

Why not just use diff or cmp

Mike

Unix *is* user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.

You can also use sdiff. From the man pages:

sdiff Command

Purpose

Compares two files and displays the differences in a side-by-side format.

Sorry, forgot to mention that's the man pages for AIX 5.3. Check to see if you have sdiff command on your OS.

Chuck
