I have to use HP-unix OS to get difference between 2 files.while i tried a piece of code in other OS(linux/unix) as below, it worked fine & the output is desired one.
The same doesn't works in HP -unix. Any help shall be thankful.Meanwhile, i also trying my hands with difference options.
NOTE: this code will generate a report of DB comparison & specific format is needed in output which is almost achieved by above code.Cosmetic changes can be applied later, if required.
You don't need to install them system-wide. Just distribute it together with your script. After all, it's free software, available in source code. You could equally well write your own diff tool, but why do so if something is already available?
When you run configure, you can explicitly set the directory where the tools get installed to. You can set it for instance to the same directory where you have stored your shell scripts.
The details are described in the file INSTALL in the section "Installation Names". You can look at this file even before downloading evreything: 400 Bad Request
You do have a C-compiler on your HP-UX, don't you?

Hi.
For this specific case, one can come quite close with a perl script. Here's a comparison between the two. This perl version -- which does only -y and --suppress-common-lines -- is file sdiff.pl.
producing:
However, as with installing the GNU diff, there are also perl dependencies to consider:
On the system I use:
the module Algorithm::Diff was not installed. It may be on your system, but if not, then you are in roughly the same situation as installing GNU diff.
