how to use a "patch" ..

Hi,

I am using Mandriva and i have a problem with "patch".
I would like to modify the content of 2 files : file1 and file2.

that are my steps:

first :

diff file1 file2 > file.patch

cat file.patch #it puts the differences between this 2 files ont the screen

patch < file.patch

But I always receive an error message :
bash: patch: command not found

could you please help me?
thank you

The "patch" tool is usually installed on almost all distros, but it seems that it's not on your system. Try installing it with urpmi.
