Differential of 2 files

[rec9140]

I have 2 text files and what I am after is to:

1) Create a text file of the DIFFERENCES between those 2 files
2) Display the differences on the console as it processes

GREP? with piping? ie:

$ diff text1 text2 | diffout | tty1

This above is an example I don't think diff exists, I am just thinking out loud bad idea I know, as to where to go accomplish this.

Thanks.

It does on my machine try man diff from a console.

I am obvisouly trying to make this harder than it is, even with a 600 page command reference book.

Thanks.
