You have reached the GNU Coreutils mailing list. The GNU Coreutils are the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about GNU Coreutils here: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ The GNU Coreutils are part of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about the GNU Project here: http://www.gnu.org/ But you are asking about 'diff'. I am sorry but this is the wrong mailing list. We do not maintain 'diff' here; rather, it is part of the GNU diffutils project. You are better off mailing '[email protected]'; the address reported by 'diff --help'. Meanwhile, in response to your question, I'm not exactly sure what you are proposing. Some examples of input that you plan on diff'ing, along with expected output, to better explain what you mean by numeric diff, may be worthwhile. Or, you may be interested in reading the documentation on the sort program, which already has a number of features related to sorting lines in various numerical orders. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
