Hi, How can I compare two ascii file and put the differences into another file.

I used diff command, but this command add < or > in the first position of the resulting file and I do not want it.

Thanks

IF the records in your sequential files are in sorted order you may want to use comm rather than diff. See the comm man page for options to restrict the output to what you want.
