Compare Column wise multiple files in Unix












0















I want to compare 2 files like mentioned below.



File 1



123 |245 |abcd |yuu
9999|1111|ujwij|6565


File 2



123 |245 |^&27hdj|y2o
9999|1111|00023 |6565


Expected Output



Record Number | Column No
1 | 3
1 | 3


How do I create a unix command or script for this as I have multiple files for this as number of columns vary with different scenarios.

Also I wanted to listen these 2 files from different path and generate the differences in output file.

  • I have 2 Records coming from source (file1) and in the (file2) target, Column No. 3,4 values gets changed due to some transformation.
