Robert: A DIFF one column report shows what you're after.
1. All lines in File A that are not in File B
Would appear as:
00006 ----- 1111111111 1111111111 Fred ¬¬¶
00007 ----- 2222222222 2222222222 fred
00008 ----- 3333333333 3333333333 fred3 ' two_
2. All lines in File B that are not in File A
Would appear as:
+++++ 00006 six
+++++ 00007 seven[eight]
+++++ 00008 eight(nine)
3. All lines that are in common in both files
Would appear as:
00001 00001 One-two
00002 00002 TWO/THREE/FOUR
00003 00003 THREE,FOUR,FIVE,SIX
But changes in lines are shown as an insert/delete pair
00020 ----- 01 A A DEF X Aaa111aaaAaa111aaaaaa111@aa abc
+++++ 00015 01 A A DEF X Aaa111aaaAaa111aaaaaa111@aa abc q

Robert: Not clear here.
Given two files.
AAA AAA
BBB BBB
CCC CCCABC
DDD DDD
EEE EEE
Given the above, 1column DIFF would label CCC as missing from file B, and CCCABC as missing from file A
Is that not what you're after? Seems to me that it is.

Robert: Yes, the minimum match count makes all the difference. It depends on the type of data being compared, sometimes 1 is best, I find for source compares larger is better, it sort of reports in blocks rather than lines and I find that makes it easier to 'see' just what has changed.
