comparison of files
hello, I have been trying to write a shell script that will compare 2 files and generate a 3rd. i have a list of abusive IP's generated by our router. I want to compare it against a list of known abuse IPs ..and have it create a file of repeat offenders. ive tired to use comm to compare file1 against file2 doing something like comm -12i file1 file2 file3 however it doesnt seem to workany suggestions ? thank you for all your help in advance -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207-247-8330 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the list contains only numeric IP addresses, the '-i' option isn't going to do you much good, for example. Have you tried 'diff file1 file2'? Do you get the output that seems reasonable from that? -Chris P.S. please keep [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC'ed, and please don't top-post. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
