Question

I have two files

Content of file A

paybackFile_537214-760887_000_20120801.xml
paybackFile_354472-544899_000_20120801.xml
paybackFile_62-11033_000_2012080         


        

Answer 1

Here's a script:

#!/bin/sh

FILEA=fileA
FILEB=fileB

awk -F" " ' { print $2 } ' $FILEA > .tmpfileA 
awk -F" " ' { print $5 } ' $FILEB | sed 's/\.gpg//' | grep 'decrypted successfully' > .tmpfileB


diff .tmpfileA .tmpfileB

rm -f .tmpfileA
rm -f .tmpfileB

All you'll need to change is the variables FILEA and FILEB

When executing it with the inputs you provided it gives the following result:

$ testAB.ksh 
2d1
< paybackFile_521000-845442_000_20120701.xml
$
