Hi Andrei,

thanks a lot for your reply. 😁

 > It's unclear what exactly '/comm -23' is supposed to be

Well, from the man pages (man comm) :

/comm [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2//
//
//DESCRIPTION//
//       Compare sorted files FILE1 and FILE2 line by line.

       -1     suppress column 1 (lines unique to FILE1)

        -2     suppress column 2 (lines unique to FILE2)
/
So I think the comm-command should be for comparison of files.

I´ve always used *bash* for executing the command, so this shouldn´t be 
the problem.

Yes, I think so as well. Thanks for confirming that.

Sorry, Andrei, I´m not quite sure what you mean by that.

Thanks anyway for your kind help.

All the best.
