I've wrote a very functional script for you here:<br><a href="http://gist.github.com/330096">http://gist.github.com/330096</a><br><br>I still feel that, David A. De Graaf and others have noted, your needs still aren't completely clear. So, instead of continuing to try to get solid specification out of you, I figured I give you something to try out and then you would likely realize what needs to be changed. I broke it down and documented it so you can modify it to meet your needs. But please give it a try. It's got a built in demo that generates its own test data. All you have to do is use it as described below and give me feedback.<br>
<br>You can see it in action by copying and pasting this in your shell:<br>wget <a href="http://gist.github.com/raw/330096/0ca31670b30d344515bb39fae2f9c75b59c18392/compare_script.sh">http://gist.github.com/raw/330096/0ca31670b30d344515bb39fae2f9c75b59c18392/compare_script.sh</a><br>
chmod +x compare_script.sh<br>awk '/BEGIN UNIT TEST/{p=1};p==1{print}' compare_script.sh | bash<br><br>This is the output you would see:<br>~$ wget <a href="http://gist.github.com/raw/330096/0ca31670b30d344515bb39fae2f9c75b59c18392/compare_script.sh">http://gist.github.com/raw/330096/0ca31670b30d344515bb39fae2f9c75b59c18392/compare_script.sh</a><br>
