The command uniq needs a previous sort and doesn't like non English characters (export LC_ALL='C' ), awk can do it, but within a single file, i.e: awk ' !x++' input.txt > output.txtĪll I can think of would be a loop to compare a line to lineS, but it may take a lifetime to grep then delete if equal. I am using fairly large files and TextWrangler chokes to death. I was looking for a tool to compare different text files and remove the duplicates line, without having to sort the files. You will get notifications on what same corresponding files are different, as well as. With folders you use rq as an argument and pass in the 2 folder names on the command line like so. I'll be interested to -try- to continue in the same the subject, Meld allows users to compare two or three different folders for differences. In macOS, you can compare and show the differences of files in two folders in the Command Line by using the diff command.

You can also grep with either AppleScript within TextWrangler, or using directly the "Find" with grep and replace with nothing ('new' folder) and click 'Compare' button. (The 'old' folder) Click the 'right' button and choose the folder you would like to move items TO. Click the 'left' button and choose the folder you would like to move items FROM. See "process duplicates lines" and "find differences" Here's how you can compare two directories with FileMerge: +space, type in 'FileMerge' and open it.

Compare PDF files Compare PDF files and see the differences. " Is there perhaps a way to modify the script such that it can be run from within TextWrangler, give unique result values and not include the extra characters?" Shows differences of two PDFs files quickly.
