Hi all,
Recently I had to do file comparison on Windows. Its quite simple. Take a text file pick each line( record) and check in the other file if it is there. My friends suggested touse winmerge(??) to do thisUnfortunately I needed a standalone script to do this. I could write a brute-force program to pick each record and search on the other file. My COBOL wayof doing this. But I was lazy and wanted a ready to use script.Ultimately I had to write a Korn script on unix to do this. So I had to FTP my files from windows and do this on my unix box. What a pain!!!
During my search I thought how would it be, if we got all our unix utilities on Windows?After a day's googling ( Now this is considered as verb in the junkies world) Voila.... I found this interesting link.
GNU utilities for Win32
Cool.. Ain't it?
Caveat: Do not ask me how to use it. I just found it and wanted to share with y'all
