It does do what I think you want, but as ever with GNU/FSF, is inscrutable. Don't overlook that you can combine arguments. Consider two files:
1.txt 2.txt
----- -----
Ash Ash
Holly Beech
Oak Holly
Rowan Rowan
Whitebeam Whitebeam
Then:
c:\Zdir>c:\dos\Utils\comm.exe -3 1.txt 2.txt

However, the File Intersection program looks pretty well spot on.It's good, but as I recall it, insists on writing all three files each time. That means that in batch processes, you have to remember to delete the unwanted as well as wanted ones afterwards. But, it seems more intuitive than comm.-4wd (June 26, 2012, 07:48 PM)

In present test the progress bar has already gone from left to right, but job appears incomplete.-nkormanik (June 26, 2012, 11:59 AM)
thatta wayJust ran across this thread, nobody mentioned Steve Gibson's Spinrite?Hm-m-m ... haven't tried SpinRite for many a year. But I'm doubtful that it'd do anything more than the tools mentioned. It was developed for an older HD technology, when software could actually have an effect on the hardware.-x16wda (June 26, 2012, 08:24 PM)-barney (June 26, 2012, 10:12 PM)

1) friends don't let friends use SpinRite. Just thought I'd have to add it since it was mentioned.-f0dder (October 15, 2008, 06:20 PM)
If somebody starts using SpinRite on a drive with bad sectors and an upcoming head-crash... well...-f0dder (October 15, 2008, 07:08 PM)
Lets say you have a HDD that starts developing bad clusters and by the time you find out the problem there is N bad clusters:
.....
The longer one make his/her final decision the more data will be lost and the more he/she suffers. I really can't figure out why this matter can become purely subjective?-tslim (June 26, 2012, 11:24 AM)
As soon as REAL bad cluster is found, trashing the HDD is a matter of affirmative and securing as much as possible data on it is an urgency... remember this:
Restoring backup to a new HDD is always easier and take much shorter time than rebuilding it from scratch.
The fact that manufacturers provide spare blocks shows that they expect there to be sector failures over the life of the drive - it's whether or not the number of those is excessive, in what circumstances, (time frame), they occurred and the life of the drive that would be of more interest to me in determining whether or not the drive is still suitable for my purposes.-4wd (June 20, 2012, 08:29 PM)
Would be a plus for the program to give some idea it's still chugging along, especially on large comparison jobs. In present test the progress bar has already gone from left to right, but job appears incomplete. I'll keep letting it run for... a week.
If job completes successfully, will a text file list of the one-only files appear in the TIOOO directory?-nkormanik (June 26, 2012, 11:59 AM)
).Okay, list popped up in my default editor. Worked like a charm!
However, it now occurs to me that in your case, another Unix utility might be better, comm, e.g. the one contained in GNU utilities for Win32:Usage: comm [OPTION]... LEFT_FILE RIGHT_FILE
Compare sorted files LEFT_FILE and RIGHT_FILE line by line.
-1 suppress lines unique to left file
-2 suppress lines unique to right file
-3 suppress lines unique to both files

I was leaning toward the arduino for this very reason (I have a small robotics project in mind). I've done a bit of research, and as you say there are any number of resources available, but as this is potentially a very complex subject I guess I was looking for a recommendation of a good entry point.-Target (June 26, 2012, 06:39 PM)

(In honour of TaoPhoenix)@4wd your version of _IniBool() would never return True. The reason is values read from ini files using IniRead are always strings.-MilesAhead (June 25, 2012, 11:17 PM)

No offence, but I think it is very inappropriate to advocate the idea that HDD with bad sectors (or clusters) can still be healed ... by whatever program, you named it.-tslim (June 25, 2012, 11:58 AM)
), if it was me, I wouldn't be using it any more - most likely the heads would have bounced which won't have done them any good.Easy to see it as boolean instead of string.) That's why I came up with _IniBool() function. It seems trivial but with it you can actually use Boolean values in AutoIt variables and True or False will be written to the .ini using IniWrite. If the user changes it to 1 for true and 0 for false, it still functions as expected.Func _IniBool($val)
If $val = "True" Or $val = "1" Then Return True
Return False
