| Suppose I have two files N.txt and O.txt .N contains unique strings
that are sorted alphabetically .Similarly O also contains unique
strings that are sorted alphabetically .
I want to find those strings that are in N.txt but not in O.txt .The
condition is that both N and O.txt are very long files and contain only
1 string per line.How can this be done in the most shortest/efficient
way??(unix/linux commands )
