diff but ....

[f. halili]

i want to see the difference between two files ( file1 & file2 ), but i want only to see the lines that are unique on file2.

thanks,

Hi:

# diff f1 f2|grep ">"

That solution would work if you don't have '>' char as part of any unique line in file1. A better solution would be :

# diff f1 f2 | grep "^>"

Hi,

if the two files are sorted, this should also produce the correct result:

$ comm -13 file1 file2
