in reply to Comparing unordered but similar data files
monks: gather your stones while I don my armor...
maybe perl isn't the best tool here
$ cat abc a b c d e e e ff fff g $ cat abc2 a fff e g e e b c d ff $ sort abc > sorted_abc $ sort abc2 > sorted_abc2 $ diff -u sorted_abc sorted_abc2 $ rm sorted*
Then edit one of the files and repeat. You'll get a diff. In the above case no diff is shown because the files are the same when sorted.
