(Please bottom-post your responses to this group. Thanks.) You could just describe your output. Are you getting nothing at all? Or is it showing all lines of both files? Or none from one and all from the other? Or just more or fewer lines than you think is correct? Remember that non-printable characters (whitespace for instance) may not match even though it looks the same: spaces and tab characters for instance.
