Try this

Code: Select all

>"sample3.txt" type nul
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%A in ("sample1.txt") do (
  for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("sample2.txt") do (
    if "%%A"=="%%a" >>"sample3.txt" echo\%%A
  )
)

download gawk for windows, then use this one liner

Code: Select all

c:\test>  gawk.exe  "FNR==NR{a[$1];next}($1 in a)" file1 file2
33
86


this has the advantage of using memory which is faster than double for loops from aGerman's solution.

you can download from your home, its just an exe file. Put it inside your portable disk or USB drive, then bring to workplace to use.

use a "!" to invert the condition

Code: Select all

gawk.exe  "FNR==NR{a[$1];next}( !( $1 in a) )" file1 file2

Thanks ghostmachine.one more doubt.

want to compare only 2nd and 3rd column (both column should be equal)example:-
File1 contains:-
sat,005,87
sat1,09,95
sat3,40,98
sat4,50,99
sat5,40,97

File2 contains:-
ggg,010,55
hth,68,95
sat,42,97
sat6,40,98

output should be File3:-
sat,40,98


Thanks in advance
