Yes, I forgot to mention that as this is what I *always* use (and I always see diffs generated with this option). > The only lines that match between the file1 and file2 are empty ones. > This bash command shows only an empty line in common: > comm -12 -- <(sort -u file1) <(sort -u file2) > > Note: The line terminator on the provided files is CRLF. No, a single LF as usual (I suspect that some mail software converts them to CRLF when saving). > Long lines - Use 'less -S' :-) Well, be careful that the difference between the lines are at the end. I generated the files with "lorem -p 5" as the goal was to generate 5 paragraphs (and there is no way to get shorter paragraphs), and slightly editing them. I now think that "lorem -s 5" (to generate 5 sentences in a single paragraph) would have been better here since I had to add blank lines for the testcase anyway. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
