[SOLVED] How very quickly compare two text files ?

[maki]

How very quickly (only 1 click e.g. script(?)) compare two text files

file1.txt (Links URL)
file2.txt (Links URL)
Result: file3.txt Compare and show all (Links URL) that are missing in the file file1.txt

Example:

file1.txt
http://website.com/id1
http://website.com/id2
http://website.com/id2000
http://website.com/id65487


file2.txt
http://website.com/id1
http://website.com/abc-1
http://website.com/id2
http://website.com/id3

Result:
file3.txt
http://website.com/abc-1
http://website.com/id3

I suggest you look online at the very many programs already offering this function rather than trying to write (yet another) script. There's fortunately no need :)

I personally use WinMerge: Download WinMerge - WinMerge

You may prefer others.

WinMerge, do not expect super fast(instant) results.
A) Comparison
B) Remove Duplicate
C) Create the output file

3-boring steps:rofl12:

(1-step) super simple Python script
1 click and finished result :thumbsup2:

Well done. I'll mark this thread as solved.
