It is hard to understand what you actually want. diff outputs the differences between a pair of files, but from your list of files, it is not obvious what would constitute a 'pair'. Please explain in some more detail what you are trying to accomplish.
I have a file, which I constructed using 'find . -type f > myfile.txt' command. This gave me the list of files in the current directory from where I execute this command.
There are various kinds (.c, .h, .pl, .cgi, .sh, etc) of files in the list. I want to separate out C/C++ file names in one file & Script files like .pl, .sh, etc. in another file.
