Just grep the part you want.

If the files are similar, you can use diff's unified or context format
man diff for details.

If the files are not similar, and you want to know if some random line of
filea exists in fileb, yo can write a little perl script to do the job.

If you tell us the format of the files you want to compare, maybe we can
give you a more detailed answer.
