The following Perl script should do what you want:
#!/usr/bin/perl
($line, $file1, $file2) = @ARGV;
open F, $file1;
@file1 = <F>;
open F, $file2;
@file2 = <F>;
close F;
for ($i = $line; $i <= $#file1; $i++) {
unless ($file1[$i] eq $file2[$i]) {
print "> $file1[$i]";
print "< $file2[$i]";
}
}
Although if these are very large files I wouldn't use this script as it
loads both files into memory!
Hope it helps anyway.
Cheers
