• Firstly add the output to the variable: ```
=$(cat ) ``` * Then create the second variable: ``` =$(cat ) ``` * Check the contents of the variable with `echo "$"` * Show the variables side-by-side like so: ``` diff <(echo "$VARIABLE_1") <("echo $VARIABLE_2") ``` * Else if the above does not work, output each variable into a file and compare them that way: ``` echo "$VARIABLE_1" > temp1 echo "$VARIABLE_2" > temp2 ```
