Consider the 2 attached files f1.txt and f2.txt. They're already sorted.
$ comm -12 f1.txt f2.txt
1O55
1O56
This means that 1055 and 1056 are in both files. However, this isn't
true.
$ fgrep 1055 f1.txt f2.txt
f1.txt:1055
$ fgrep 1056 f1.txt f2.txt
f1.txt:1056
Note that these lines are only in f1.txt. This looks like
a bug.
Please advise.
Your input data looks incorrect.
There is a mixup between the letter O and digit 0.
The following should be instructive:
$ grep 1O5[56] f[12].txt
f1.txt:1O55
f1.txt:1O56
f2.txt:1O55
f2.txt:1O56
cheers,
