I was at work stuck using Access and it's GUI and just couldn't my query to work right. There's an automatic join when you add tables and I didn't feel like using that app anyway. I'm on a box with lots of software I don't like and I'm not root. So I thought I'd ask the BLU list prior to running to my house and doing this on my home computer. I kind of did what Seth said with success. SELECT csv1.*, csv2.varA FROM csv1, csv2 WHERE csv1.varA = csv2.varA AND csv1.varB = csv2.varB AND csv1.varC = csv2.varC INTO blah blah blah Stuck the info into a table, LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\MyWorks...equalTextRows.csv' INTO TABLE notsettheory.scratchpad So now that I had where the two intersect in table scratchpad I just did this to both tables, DELETE csv1.* FROM csv1, scratchpad WHERE scratchpad.varA = csv1.varA AND scratchpad.varB = csv1.varB It's pretty simple but it worked. I now know exactly where these two people disagree. What is this beast? % diff --old-line-format=%L --new-line-format=%L --unchanged-line-format="" data1.csv data2.csv > diff.csv Oh my, hieroglyphics! I shall read more about diff/grep. I'm sure it will come in handy. Thanks for your help. - Eric. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
