I don't know. But you can write a script to do what you asked first.

e.g. with GNU's bash:

--- cut here ---
#!/bin/bash

FILE1="/somewhere/filename1"
FILE2="/somewhere/filename2"


while read NO1 LINE1; do
read -u 3 NO2 LINE2
if [ "$LINE1" != "$LINE2" ]; then
echo line: $NO1
LA1=($LINE1)
LA2=($LINE2)
for ((I=0; I<=${#LA1[@]}; I++)); do
if [ "${LA1[$I]}" = "${LA2[$I]}" ]; then
OUT1="${OUT1}\t"
OUT2="${OUT2}\t"
else
OUT1="${OUT1}${LA1[$I]}"
OUT2="${OUT2}${LA2[$I]}"
fi
done
echo -e "< $OUT1\n> $OUT2\n---"
unset OUT1 OUT2
fi
done < <(cat -n "$FILE1") 3< <(cat -n "$FILE2")
--- cut here ---

Try to avoid commas (,) in both of your files.
