I have two files, audit.txt
and server.txt
, both contain filenames. I want to get only filenames that are present in audit.txt
but not in server.txt
audit.txt looks like filename1 filename3 filename2 server.txt looks like filename1 filename2
ideally i would want the difference in a 3rd file missing.txt
that will contain filename3
as per the example above.
I have tried following but the missing.txt
does not contain correct difference,
comm -13 audit.txt server.txt > missing.txt

Answer
You could use diff
command like so
diff audit.txt server.txt > missing.txt
