Re^3: Merge the difference between two files

To achieve this, after the line

           $currentheader = $line;
[download]

add this:

           if (exists $result{$currentheader}){
              $currentheader="RECYCLE_BIN";
           }
[download]

I will leave it as an exercise for you to figure hou how to avoid printing the "RECYCLE_BIN" item.

Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up, package it, and sell it as fertilizer.

I was able to print the unmatched contents to a file. could you please help me edit the code to do just compare the content of the line "NAME" and print out the header of the file A. Don't compare the headers. I tried to figure out but so far I have no luck. Thanks so much in advance	[reply]

Your second and third sentences contradict each other: `* edit the code to do just compare the content of the line "NAME" * Don't compare the headers` [download] So I'm having trouble understanding what you want. Sample data, and expected results would help. Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up, package it, and sell it as fertilizer.	[reply] [d/l]
