Help me with this tcsh script.!!!!(Anbu)

I need to write a tcsh script which would compare files in the two folders and then send me a mail saying which of the files are missing.For eg

1) I have this folder1 containing all the files which must land on folder2 on a daily basis.

2) If a file is present in folder1 but not in folder2,then a email must be sent to me saying which file is missing in folder2.

for instance,

Folder 1 has(it has some 103 files to be precise)

aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
ccc
eee
fff

folder2 has(the same file name but with a daily time stamp attached to it.So need to remove this date portion and then compare the files in folder2 with files in folder1

aaa.03082007
bbb.03082007
ccc.03082007
ddd.03082007


So the script must inform me that eee and fff files are missing...

I want this whole process to be inside a loop and somewhat automated so that i dont have to run the script daily manually.

your help will be greatly appreciated....

Thanks
Kumar
