Find Differences between Text Files with esProc


Compare the following two text files of the same format and write the differences (different records) into a text file.
Content of 1.txt
Proto      Local Address Foreign Address     State
TCP 111.11.1.111:1975   221.181.70.12:5926       ESTABLISHED

Content of 2.txt
Proto      Local Address Foreign Address     State
TCP 111.11.1.111:1975   221.181.70.12:5926       ESTABLISHED
TCP 111.11.1.111:1111   169.254.241.33:2222     ESTABLISHED

Content of result.txt with exported data will be:
Proto      Local Address Foreign Address     State
TCP 111.11.1.111:1111   169.254.241.33:2222     ESTABLISHED


esProc script for doing this

A1: The path where text files are stored.

A2: fns is the script parameter for storing the two text files, 1.txt and 2.txt, under comparison. Import the files and sort each of them by all the fields.

A3: The first half line of the code - A2.merge@d(#1,#2,#3,#4) - gets difference between 1.txt and 2.txt; the second half - A2.rvs().merge@d(#1,#2,#3,#4) - gets difference beweeen 2.txt and 1.txt. Results will then be merged.

A4: Export A3’s result to result.txt, which concludes the computation.
