sdiff is also useful as it lists the 2 files side by side and inidicates records which are differeent in each
The key is to ensure that the files are sorted

Hi,
"comm" is a nice utility that works like diff. It compares 2 files and prints lines exclusive to file1, lines exclusive to file2 or lines common to both.

Very useful.

Regards,
Mike Hately
