Thank you very much for your reply . This code actually solved my problem and returned exact matches between the two files (irrespective of their location in the files) . As I understood , it will list each data showing to which file it belongs (or it is common to both files) . It is really what I wanted . Sincerely Yours

Dear All Can you please do me favor and let me know how can I compare two files but not in line-by-line basis on my CentOS server ? I mean say row#1 in file1 has the same data as say row#5 in file2 , but the comm compares them in line-by-line basis that is not intended . It seems that the diff cannot do the job as well
This'll show you which lines are common to both files, and for the ones that aren't which file they're in.
perl -MData::Dumper -le 'while(<>) {chomp; push @{$s->{"$_"}}, $ARGV}; END{ print Dumper($s) }' file1 file2
... someone will be along shortly with a more elegant method.

(( do not top-post ))
You could do the same by first sorting the two files, and then use "comm".

The two files are assorted ones , but the comm will compare them in line-by-line basis . If row#1 in file1 is equal to say row#5 in file2 , so I want it not to being considered as a difference .
