I tried this but the top two didn't work. It just prints out everything I have in file1. E.g. File 1 has 3244343 lines and the output file also have 3244343 lines. Moreover, the output aren't showing the disparities.HKJ3– HKJ32022-09-30 23:13:02 +00:00Commented Sep 30, 2022 at 23:13

@HKJ3 what operating system are you using? Have you ever opened the file in Windows? Does the last approach work?terdon– terdon ♦2022-10-01 10:21:26 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2022 at 10:21

I am using a terminal. I am writing the command directly onto the terminal rather in a script.HKJ3– HKJ32022-10-02 17:22:13 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2022 at 17:22

@HKJ3 OK, but please answer the questions I asked: what operating system are you using? Have you ever opened the file in Windows? Does the last approach work?terdon– terdon ♦2022-10-02 17:22:53 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2022 at 17:22

Thank you for your quick response. The last approach does the same thing as the first two commands. It prints out the file 1 contents. I am using a macOS v12.2.1. I am not using windows.HKJ3– HKJ32022-10-02 17:25:40 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2022 at 17:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
