Some little help is needed here ...
I have two text files, each has just a single column of data
FileA has 2798 entries, while FileB has 4242 entries; There are
entries in FileA that are also in FileB...
I'd like to filter against the two files, so I only get those entries
in FileB that don't occur only in FileA ....
There are a couple of commands to do exactly what you want.
comm(1) -- select or reject lines common to two files
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=comm&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html
diff(1) -- find differences between two files
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html
sort(1) -- sort lines of text files
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sort&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html
Enjoy!
