Perl script to compare 2 files and show which lines are different

[hrp2171]

Hi,

I have these 2 registry extracts in 2 separate text files.

I would like to parse both files and output the differences between the files to another file.

Windiff is about useless in this situation. :rolleyes:

If you know where I can find a Perl script to perform that action, I'd appreciate the pointer. Also, if you know of a really good program that can do the task, I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks,

Hector

If you are running linux, you can just use 'diff' to compare two files. It will output the line numbers and lines that are different.

Doh!

Thanks for the reply. :thumbsup:

It figures that the same type of util in Linux would actually do what is supposed to do. LOL
