Create two text files.
x.txt with
abc
def
def
ghi
and y.txt with
bcd
def
ijk
jkl
Issue following commands (at cygwin prompt)
//sort and copy unique elements of x to x1
sort -u x.txt > x1.txt
//sort and copy unique elements of y to y1
sort -u y.txt > y1.txt
//copy lines that appear in the both x1 and y1 to z
comm -1 -2 x1.txt y1.txt >z.txt
//output lines that appear in x1 only
comm -2 -3 x1.txt z.txt
//output lines that appear in y1 only
comm -2 -3 y1.txt z.txt
Works for this limited dataset.
Give it a try.
