Mmmh, you should really go for a book with an introduction to Unix and its
concepts. The file redirection and pipes are the very basic concepts of Unix.
A pipe is a special redirections that takes the output of a command and
sends it to the input of another one; it is represented by '|' on the shell:
cat file.diff | patch -p1
will send the output of 'cat file.diff' (the file file.diff itself) to
the input of the command 'patch -p1'.
PS>> Otherwise edit the two files and do it by hand.
KS> Which two files, and what do I change?
look at the lines beginning with --- and +++ they tell the names.
the @ lines tell the line numbers, and the lines beginning with '-' are
lines to delete, and the ones beginning with '+' lines to add.
eg:
--- A.po Sat Sep 18 20:19:33 1999
+++ EMPTY.po Sat Sep 18 20:19:16 1999

the file that would be modified is 'EMPTY.po'; near the 6th line (7 lines
are sgowed in the diff output); and you can see the line
'"POT-Creation-Date: 1999-09-18 18:19+0200\n"' is replaced with
the line '"POT-Creation-Date: 1999-09-18 20:19+0200\n"
