You can then pipe the output of diff into the diffstat program (in the package of the same name) which will tell you how many lines have been added and removed (modified too, but that always seems to come up zero). That will give you a summary of differences, one line per file changed.
Great idea Cameron, I've used diffstat before but for some reason I didn't think of it in this case. All that matters is that Gandhi's problem is solved. ======Keith
