I just learn the command "diff"
now I have 2 files named text1 and text2
and the contents are like this :
text1:
a
b
c
================
text2:
c
d
e
================
now I use the command :
diff -u text1 text2 > text 3
and the result will be :
--- text1
+++ text2
-a
-b
+d
+e
c
=================
I want to keep the same contents in 2 files
how should I do
please help me
thank you.
if i have a file named text3 and the contents are as below:
================================================================
+a
+b
c
-d
-e
================================================================
all i want to do is to delete the line being with "+" and "-"
then the file text3 will have the content:
==================================================================
c
==================================================================
Is there any linux command can help me delete the line in the content?
I have one more question here, how can I use "sort" to make the text3 contents like this:
=====================================================================
c
+a
+b
-d
-e
=====================================================================
I just want to pick up the lines without starting symbol "+" and "-"
