How to filter the contents of two text files ..

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hi

Some little help is needed here ...

I have two text files, each has just a single column of data

FileA has 2798 entries, while FileB has 4242 entries;
There are entries in FileA that are also in FileB... 

I'd like to filter against the two files, so I only get those entries in FileB
that don't occur only in FileA ....

I am thinking about using `diff` but again it doesn't look quite straight to me.

How do I get the data from FileB that isn't in FileA ?

There could be many possible ways but I am simply brain dead at the 
moment.

Lysistrata had a good idea.
