But "#diff -y" compares the two files in line-by-line basis . But my two files do not have one-to-one correspondence , say row#1 in file1 maybe the same as say row#5 in file2 . So I seek a way that does not consider this as a difference (but diff will consider).
(( First, please do not top-post. ))
"diff" would match the line2 in file1 with the line5 in file2, and it would mark that some lines were inserted there.
I think you'll have to specify more what you mean by "compare", and what you think is different or same.
