I want to compare two objects and get only the different values. I have this code:
$a = ("this is blah blah DOG")
$b = ("Dit is blah BLAH dog")
Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $a -DifferenceObject $b
with the above code I get the following output:
InputObject SideIndicator
----------- -------------
Dit is blah BLAH dog =>
this is blah blah DOG <=
However I want only the different values in both the objects i.e. Dit and this
powershell compareobject

Compare-Object works on the whole objects and its properties. It will not do lazy string matching. If you wanted that you need to split the string into arrays first
$a = "this is blah blah DOG".Split()
$b = "Dit is blah BLAH dog".Split()
Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $a -DifferenceObject $b
Beware of potential issues with case sensitivity and use the -CaseSensitive as needed.
