I am trying to use the comm utility to compare two list of IP addresses, sorted with regular sort (not -n), and the result is erroneous. I could not find the answer in Google.
list1= 208.78.161.18 208.78.161.19 208.78.161.20 208.78.161.206 208.78.161.207 208.78.161.21 208.78.161.22 208.78.161.224 208.78.161.226 208.78.161.227 list2 208.78.161.17 208.78.161.18 208.78.161.19 208.78.161.20 208.78.161.206 208.78.161.207 208.78.161.21 208.78.161.22 208.78.161.224 208.78.161.226 This command should work comm -12 --check-order <(sort list1.txt) <(sort list2.txt) my environment export LC_ALL=C export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_COLLATE=C why these lists are no being compared correctly?
