in thread ignore duplicates and show unique values between 2 text files

Hi kennethk, I am unsure on how to "reply to all" But can the script be modified to take account of two columns i.e

FILE 1

261293    'snow > equipment'
261293    'snow > equipment > boots'
261293    'snow > equipment > facemasks'
261293    'snow > equipment > goggles'
261293    'snow > equipment > helmets'
261293    'surf > accessories > books'
[download]

FILE 2

261293    'snow > equipment'
261293    'snow > equipment > boots'
261293    'snow > equipment > facemasks'
261293    'snow > equipment > goggles'
261293    'surf > accessories > books'
[download]

OUTPUT

261293 'snow > equipment > helmets'

The two columns are separated by Tab, is this possible?

Thank you
