samesame lets you match lines from one file in another file!

Installation

Be sure to have cargo installed on your machine and the cargo binary path added to your shells $PATH variable.

Installation is then as easy as:

cargo install samesame

Examples

  • Match lines from var/1 in var/2
    samesame var/1 var/2
    
  • Show a report
    samesame --report var/1 var/2
    
  • Show lines of file1/file2 for matches
    samesame --verbose var/1 var/2  
    
  • Require all lines of file1 to be found in file2. Otherwise the program exits with code 1.
    samesame --all var/1 var/2  
    
  • Show lines of file1, which did not match in file2
    samesame --invert var/1 var/2
