diff: no similaritesi only differneces
 

hi,

i want to compare 2 files such that only the differences between the 2 files (i.e. uncommon lines) are shown..

i used the diff command, but i still get the same lines repeated many times, despite having used options such as: ignore case, blank spaces etc..

any pointers?

Thanks,
Ashlesha.

Can you post a sample from each file (and the diff output) so that we can see what might be causing the problem?
