diff command in unix

[snowfall]

I need to find the difference of two files and save it in third file and process it..
But the outpur of diff command is coming with the 'line number - difference' code.

Eg of my output

i22,26d21
< Use the bc program to convert from decimal to hexadecimal.
< To do so, use the obase command to set the base for output:
39c34,35
< See Section 5.6 for more examples of using bc.

But i want only the lines and not the 'i22,26d21 & < Symbol'..

Pls help..

TIA

Hi,

if you just need the lines, means their content, you could get them with

diff .... | grep ^\< | sed s/^\<\ //

But this doesn't give you the information, which line is new nor which one's changed or deleted.

Bernd

Hi,

for just getting the new/changed/deleted lines use

diff  file1.txt file2.txt | grep ^\< | sed s/^\<\ //

If you need the differences in diff.txt, use

diff  file1.txt file2.txt | tee diff.txt | grep ^\< | sed s/^\<\ //
