Re: [tlug] bash and grep and diff

[Pier Fumagalli <pier@example.com>]

This should do the trick

diff <(grep "ABC" a.txt) <(grep "ABC" b.txt)

I often want to run diff on just a subset of two files. I.e.
 grep "ABC" a.txt >tmp1.txt
 grep "ABC" b.txt >tmp2.txt
 diff tmp1.txt tmp2.txt

Is there a way to do that in a single line, without having to create
temp files?  (From a bash commandline, if at all possible.)  (There is
only one stdin pipe, so I'm guessing not, but thought it wouldn't hurt
to ask...)
