Description:
I need to compare two files and then write results to third.

First file will be a user file list one per line.
user1
user2
user3
user4

The second will also have users listed one per line.

user2
user4
user1

If a user in list file 1 is not in list 2 I need it to write them one per line in file 3.

user3

I would prefer perl, but will be open for other solutions.

Thanks
Bob Ross

I have code written to do exactly what you need. All you would have to do is open the script and specify what file names you want it to work with. No fuss, no muss.
