Hi,
Sorted many thanks for all your help seems theres a few ways of
doing it.
It worked by putting both files into one file, sorting them, then using uniq
-u which takes out lines which are not repeated.
Cat file1 > testfile
Cat file2 >> testfile
Sort testfile
Uniq -u testfile

Subject: Matching Billing Numbers
Hi there,
I have two files containing billing numbers what I want to do is to
get the billing numbers out of the first file which don't exist in the 2nd
file.
Even with a sort and a diff, this still doesn't work, is there some
sed or awk command which would do the trick. I.e it takes the first line of
the file and tries to match it to any lines in the 2nd. If it can't it
prints it out.
Alistair.
