how to compare lines in two files are same or different in python

Question

I have two files which contains following lines:

file1:
6.959999999:    LOG_MOD_L0_RECEIVE_TXBRP_CONTROL(0, 
 0x0059005f, 
 0x0049006d, 
 0x00b9008b, 
 0x001         


        

Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import re
lines1=open("output1.txt","rt").read()
lines2=open("output2.txt","rt").read()
hits1 = re.findall(r'\(.*?\)', lines1, re.DOTALL)
hits2 = re.findall(r'\(.*?\)', lines2, re.DOTALL)
print('equal:', set(hits1).intersection(hits2))
print('diff: ', set(hits1).difference(hits2))

Prints out

equal: {'(0, \n 0x0059005f, \n 0x0049006d, \n 0x00b9008b, \n 0x001300b9)', '(1, \n 0x0059005m, \n 0x0049006d, \n 0x04b9008b, \n 0x001300b9)'}
diff:  set()
