Diff compare 2 files
 

Hi,

I am trying to get to grips with diff

I read the manaul but I want to show the difference only between two files

I use diff -u <file1> <file2>

but it would be easier for me to just see what is different in <file2>

Is this possible or do I need to use something else?

diff -y
this should give u output in two columns, side by side for file1 and file2. Its all in the manual.

Thank you very much:D
