Software :: Compare/diff A Range Of Lines From Two Text Files?
Mar 26, 2010
i tried using diff --GTYPE-group-format= with <%, but not sure that right solution.Here's what im trying to do. I have two c source files, file1 and file2. file1 has a function in it that's been modified in file2. However, the functions begin at differnt line numbers in eachof the files. Is there a way to specify a range of file numbers on file1 and file2 to compare, using diff or any other combination of utilities? I can always output text from a range of lines from each file to two separate and new files and then compare those, but that's tedious. I could also write up a script to automate this type of solution, but I imagine there's an existing way of doing this.

Is there a way, besides writing a PERL program, to read each line one by one in file A and tell if this line also exists in file B? Can this be done via a shell script?

Is there anyway to delete certain paragraphs within a text file and then insert the paragraph into another text file.I just cannot figure out how to remove the specific lines from the file and then insert them into another file at a certain line within that new file. Thanks again

I am facing a problem while splitting a text file, I need to split a file into some parts and each split file should have 2000 lines, when I do it through "split" command the mother file is kept intact but as per my requirement I need to cut mother file into some parts thus it should not be kept intact.
Example:
file size
motherfile.txt 5000 lines.
after split
motherfile.txt 2000 lines.
childfile1.txt 2000 lines.
childfile2.txt 1000 lines.

I am not especially cli adept so could someone tell me the best way to use the diff command to get the difference between a string of text and the contents of a file instead of between the contents of two files?

I need to compare 2 files using diff. The problem I've encountered is that I need to exclude certain lines that contain certain phrases. I know that diff supports the -I switch but no matter how I try to form the regexp it doesn't seem to work the way I expect it to. If anyone has used the -I switch before could you please post some examples of how it is used.
diff -I "[skipthisline]" file1 file2 > output.diff
I need to exclude lines that contain the string "[skipthisline]" but I have no idea what syntax is used after the -I switch. Is is supposed to be included in quotes or slashes /[skipthisline]/ or entered without either? I need to include a backslash before each bracket so that it's not interpreted as a set of characters like [a-z] but is instead interpreted as a string. Do I need to use 2 backslashes? "\[skipthisline\]"
Is it sufficient to simply type the string I want to match or do I need to match the entire line in order to exclude it from the output?
.*[skipthisline].*
or
^.*[skipthisline].*$

i am on processing text tasks And i found that if you assign a text to a variable is chomp'ed automatically the newline
Code:
variable=$(cat file.txt)
The problem is i can only access the items/lines using:
Code:
for line in $variable
do
echo $line
# Other commands
done
how do i convert this to an indexed array. More importantly, how do i get access to individual $line[0], ..., $line[n] Another thing, if the file.txt, has lines with spaces it is a mess using the for...in..., but echoing prints line by line...o_0

I like the output of
Code:
git diff --color-words old..new
but I do not know how to set --color-words permanently in the ~/.gitconfig file.
Edit: I guess I should've said that I do not want an alias for diff --color-words

I am using the diff command with the -r option, to compare a large number of files and files in subdirectories. My main interest is to find out which files have been changed, and not what the actual changes are, and since a lot of files has been changed, it would be a lot easier to view the file names only. Is there and option for diff that might do this, or does there exist a similar tool/command that could do the job?

I'm writing a script using ksh that diffs two dirs that contain about 30 files, and writing the results on a logfile. When files differ, it writes the difference with no problem, but I also need the script to write a message if no differences are found.

I have 2 text files : file1.txt and file2.txt
cat file1.txt
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
cat file2.txt
2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
54 this is sentence3file2
I would like to join these 2 files. The result should look as follows :
cat joinedfile.txt
2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
54 this is sentence3file2
==> so the joined file must be sorted on the first number. Any ideas how this can be achieved ?

I would really like to disable how on most KDE programs the boxes that have text in them it has a two tone line scheme, I am probably not explaining it too well but I will attach a picture. I like the color scheme I have now, but for some reason it uses black for the second color. I have looked in appearance settings and haven't found anything that changes it.

I have a plain text file with 360 lines of varying length text. How do I add a comma or other symbol to the end of each line so that I can convert the file to csv format that I can open in a spreadsheet (45 rows, 8 columns). That means each 8 lines of text forms 8 columns, with 45 rows.
