( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

My first idea was a "merge sort" (well, at least the "merge" part of it). Luckilly you say that the files are already sorted so this is easy. But I still don't think it is as easy as extending what gaspodethewonderdog came up with (since you said in the chatterbox that you wanted both additions and deletions).

sub compare { my( $old, $new )= @_; open OLD, "< $old" or die "Can't read $old: $!\n"; open NEW, "< $new" or die "Can't read $new: $!\n"; my %old; while( <OLD> ) { chomp; $old{$_}++; } close OLD; my @new; while( <NEW> ) { chomp; push @new, $_ if delete $old{$_}; } close NEW; my @old= sort keys %old; print "New sites:\n\t", join("\n\t",@new), $/; print "Old sites:\n\t", join("\n\t",@old), $/; }

Then use Alabanach's idea for deciding which order to compare the files in.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
