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.
