Thanks for the explanation
Is there a place to download the source code?
I want to compile a version that ignore spaces on the right, since 99%
of the time I forget to check the line endings.
or maybe you could consider a switch to the tool that would make it
ignore traing spaces when comparing lines.
The source code for GNU coreutils is available here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git
However,
I would recommend the 'sed' method below, as a much simpler
way to remove trailing spaces (instead of maintaining a custom modified
coreutils binaries).
To remove the trailing spaces on the file, try:
$ sed 's/ *$//' file2.csv > file2-no-space.csv
$ comm -12 file1.csv file2-no-space.csv | wc -l
864
$ join file1.csv file2.csv | wc -l
864
