Code:
for file in `ls folder_a`
do
cat $file | while read line
do
grep -q $line folder_b/fixed.txt
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
     echo "$file - $line not in fixed.txt"
     echo "$line" >> folder_b/fixed.txt
fi
done
done
I'm sure there are fancier ways, but something along those lines would get the job done.
