help
ok i need a little c app that will cross check 2 text files and make changes to one of those files accordingly.
i have one text file with all the file names i SHOULD have, and another text file with all the names of the files i DO have. heres a few lines from each respectivly;
first file:
1001-C-0012
1001-C-0013
1001-C-0014
1001-C-0015
1001-C-0016
1001-C-0017
1001-C-0020
1001-C-0021
1001-C-0022
1001-C-0023
1001-C-0024
1001-C-0025
1001-C-0026
1001-C-0027
1001-C-0028
1001-C-0029
1001-C-0030
second file:
1001c0012r1.tif
1001c0013r2.tif
1001c0015r1.tif
1001c0016r1.tif
1001c0017r1.tif
1001c0020r2.tif
1001c0021r1.tif
1001c0022r1.tif
1001c0025r1.tif
1001c0026r1.tif
1001c0027r4.tif
1001c0029r5.tif
1001c0030r3.tif
so if you notice the first 9 characters from the second file are the names from the first but with a suffix rX.tif. the rX being the revision number which isnt important. But if you compare the file names you will notice that the second file is missing some of the names from the first file.. I need an app that will compare the files and if the name is missing from the second file it will add a new line, making a space for where the name should be so when i compare them side by side it will look like:
1001-C-0012 1001c0012r1.tif
1001-C-0013 1001c0013r2.tif
1001-C-0014
1001-C-0015 1001c0015r1.tif
1001-C-0016 1001c0016r1.tif
1001-C-0017 1001c0017r1.tif
1001-C-0020 1001c0020r2.tif
1001-C-0021 1001c0021r1.tif
1001-C-0022 1001c0022r1.tif
1001-C-0023
1001-C-0024
1001-C-0025 1001c0025r1.tif
1001-C-0026 1001c0026r1.tif
1001-C-0027 1001c0027r4.tif
1001-C-0028
1001-C-0029 1001c0029r5.tif
1001-C-0030 1001c0030r3.tif
pretty straight forward eh? but i am a bit off a noob when it comes to programming. if anyone can just gimme a bit of a hand, a few lines off code and such ill be able to throw something together. The text files are 3300+ lines so i dont want to have to go down manualy and do it.
Thanks
