Hi, i need to compare two very large text files with about 5000 - 7000 lines each with a lines size of up to 256 chars.
I need to find out if there are lines missing in either file a or file b. What is the best way to do this with good speed? I tried to check each line in file a and if the line is in file b. And after that, i check for each line in file b and try to find out if the line is in file a. With large files it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to do the complete check. My script looks like this repeat for each line i in tTextA if i is not among the lines of tTextB then put i &return after tMissingInB end repeat repeat for each line i in tTextB if i is not among the lines of tTextA then put i &retrurn after tMissingInA end repeat Is there a better (faster) way?
