Compare 2 Files	Can't Post

Hi guys,

I'm just trying to compare two files. Both files have only one word per line.
The differences of both files should stored in another file.
I have it already tryed and it looks like this:

Code

use strict;  
use warnings; 
use Text::Diff; 
use Class::CSV; 
 
 
open(FILE, ">/home//Documents/Compare/diff.csv") or die "Cannot open file"; 
my $diffs = diff '/home//Documents/Compare/prtg.csv' => '/home//Documents/Compare/linuxserver.csv'; 
 
print $diffs; 
print FILE "$diffs"; 
 
close(FILE);

The output is not the different of both files. It contains all Word of both Files.

Hi,

Your code works fine for me / based on my example input files.

Input1

Code

hello 
hi 
bye 
cya

Input2

Code

hello 
hiya 
byeee 
cya

Output

Code

--- one.txt	Fri Jul 20 02:23:22 2012 
+++ two.txt	Fri Jul 20 02:23:32 2012 
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ 
 hello 
-hi 
-bye 
+hiya 
+byeee 
 cya

Which is effectively "all Word of both Files". Are you not receiving a similar output. If you are, what is the output you desire.

Chris
