Do we have any smart service or plugin in appian to compare two .csv files?

  • Does this comparison have to be done in Appian? Also are you doing this more than once or is this a one time effort followed up by a one-time data import? If this is a one time effort and you do not need to do it in Appian, you could use the Windows command line to run the following command:

    fc filename1.csv filename2.csv > outfile.txt

    Source: stackoverflow.com/.../33523588

    If you need a more repeatable solution, you'll probably have to develop your own plugin. I don't think the implementation would be too terribly difficult in Java. It could be memory intensive based on your dataset though.
