>Sorry . I tried for "#diff -y" but its output seems to have a comparison between the two files in line-by-line basis . As you mentioned , if the row#1 in file1 is in match with say row#5 in file2 I want it not to be considered as a difference. But the the output shows it as if it is being considered as a difference. Please correct me .
Could you be more precise when you say "compare"...?
By example, to get matching lines, you could:
cat $FILE1 $FILE2 | sort | uniq -c | ...
You'd get each line preceded by the number of occurence; then grep what you want...

Thank you very much for your reply . Please be informed that I tried to compare the files with your proposed code , as the followings :
#cat Edit3 Edit4 |sort |uniq -c
It is returning the same count on matches as I got from the following code :
#perl -MData::Dumper -le 'while(<>) {chomp; push @{$s->{"$_"}},$ARGV}; END{ print Dumper($s) }' Edit3 Edit4
But it is easier to be used . Can you please do me favor and let me know if I can go further and try for advanced search like finding how many rows inside a file have data that does not start with a zero after the third comma ?
Sincerely Yours
