    Hi,

    I am new on linux bash script. I am asking to do a "diff" on 2 files and then add/change file1 based on the comparsion with file2. I knew I have to use "diff" and "sed" to do it, but I have no idea how to put them together. Anybody has any idea? What is the regular expression should i use for sed.

    Thanks,
    Tiffany

    Use patch, not sed.

    However, if you just want file1 to be the same as file2, why not copy file2 to file1?
