diff

OS : SuSE Linux 10 (zOS)
I create two files test1 and test2

/home/me # more test1
1 2 3 4 5

/home/me # more test2
1 2 3

I entered the following command on cronjob and its work

diff /home/me/test1 /home/me/test2 > /home/me/test3
its created test3.

But the output of test3 is as below:

# more test3
1c1
< 1 2 3 4 5
---
> 1 2 3

but I want only differnce such as

> 4 5

Any help will be appreciated.

Read up on diff, it will compare 2 files line-wise. Meaning as soon as a line in one file differs from the other by only 1 character, they are considered different.
