Hi. I'm trying to figure out if it is at all possible to compare two files,
and then output the list of missing lines in one file to a separate file.
Say, I have two documents, each containing a long list of items. The names
of the documents are Document FULL and Document PARTIAL. I sort both
alphabetically and do a difference between them.
I'd like to capture the list of items (rows) that exist in Document FULL but
don't exist in Document PARTIAL. How would I go about this?
Concatenate both docs into one file.
Select Text->Process Duplicate Lines
In the options dialog select the "Matching All" radio button and
tick the "Delete Duplicate Lines" checkbox. Hit the OK button.
HTH,
