First I am sorry writing folders instead of files.
as far as I see diff command compares differences line by line between 2
files
That's to say,
File a
orange
blue
yellow
File b
yellow
blue
orange
diff --suppress-common-lines -w -y a b
orange <
blue <
> blue
> orange
as above you see, A and B files contains the same strings but their's lines
are different
I wish diff or another command not to display same values which are in
different lines.
First of all I suppose you're talking about 2 files, not folders.
In which case the command you're using isn't looking so bad since it
shows the differences between file "a" and file "b":
> diff --suppress-common-lines -w -y a b
abcde | xyasz
But since you do not seem to be happy with the output - what should it
look like?

As above some strings are same and some strings are different.
There are several differents between these two files.
When I run diff command "diff --suppress-common-lines -y -w file1 file2 >
fileresult" like I couldn't result right.
How can I extract differences between 2 folders ?
Which command do I need to use ?
