Adapt Bash script to sh script

Hi all!

I just finished writing a script to be run on Solaris 5.8. The script compares 2 files to check for similarities.

It works very well, but it took me forever to write it since i am a beginner.

I used bash for it. The deadline is in 2 days and I just realise today that actually I am not supposed to use bash (#!/bin/bash) but only sh (#!/bin/sh).

Obviously i just tried to run it as sh but since bash has more advanced functions, I got error messages such as arrays.....

Coud anyone please help me to modify my script, I am getting so desperate.... PLEASE, any help is welcome, I would be so so so grateful!

please find a zip file attached with the script and 2 little text file to run the script. Script to be run as : script.sh file1.txt file2.txt

Thank you so much!
