Hello all.
I'm trying to find an easy way to 'diff' two files and print what is
missing from each file. Let me start by saying that the system I'm
working on does not seem to like File::compare or &main::compare_text.
As I'm new to perl, I'm more or less trying to write a 'nested while
read' loop (atleast that is what my attempts come out to look like so
far).
trying something like....
open (A, $list1) or die .....
while(<A>)
chomp;
{
print " $_\n"; #just so I know that it's there
}
open(B, $list2) or die ....
while(<B>)
chomp;
if $_ =~ ????? # this is where I'm getting lost, want to
compare $_ from above (<A>) to $_ from (<B>)
then I'm just printing my diffs so I can correc the necessary files.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
