You can do this by using comm.

comm file1 file2 -23 > file3 comm file1 file2 -13 > file4

-23 means "only lines unique to FILE1"

-13 means "only lines unique to FILE2"

Try this,

diff File1 File2 | grep "^<" | sed 's/^< //g' > File3 diff File1 File2 | grep "^>" | sed 's/^> //g' > File4

output:

cat File3 1|2|3|5 E|F|G|H cat File4 1|2|3|4 E|F|I|H
