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.
I think you will need to insert a Sort Lines step here before doing Process Duplicate Lines
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.
Another method would be to install the command line tools and use bbdiff from the terminal.
