Answer 1

Seems to be a job suitable for the SQLite shell:

create table file1(line text);
create index if1 on file1(line ASC);
create table file2(line text);
create index if2 on file2(line ASC);
-- comment: if you have | in your files then specify “ .separator ××any_improbable_string×× ”
.import 'file1.txt' file1
.import 'file2.txt' file2
.output result.txt
select * from file2 where line not in (select line from file1);
