This is one way to do it:

Code:

dir1="dir1"
dir2="dir2"
echo "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" >xml_file.xml
echo "<Karaoke>" >>xml_file.xml
for x in `ls -1 ${dir1}/* ${dir2}/*`
do
  IFS=$'\n'
  file=`echo ${x} | sed 's/.*\/\|.*\///g'`
  dir=`echo ${x} | sed 's/\/.*//g'`
  echo "<item name= \"${file}\" id=\"1\">/$dir/$file</item>" >>xml_file.xml
done
echo "</Karaoke>" >>xml_file.xml


$ cat xml_file.xml
<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?>
<Karaoke>
<item name= "0001 More Than I Can Say.vob" id="1">/dir1/0001 More Than I Can Say.vob</item>
<item name= "0002 Morning Has Broken.vob" id="1">/dir1/0002 Morning Has Broken.vob</item>
<item name= "0003 My Way Rumba.vob" id="1">/dir1/0003 My Way Rumba.vob</item>
<item name= "0004 Papa.vob" id="1">/dir1/0004 Papa.vob</item>
<item name= "0005 Touch By Touch.vob" id="1">/dir1/0005 Touch By Touch.vob</item>
<item name= "0006 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0006 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0007 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0007 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0008 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0008 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0009 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0009 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0010 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0010 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
</Karaoke>

CRM_DIFF(8)							  [FIXME: manual]						       CRM_DIFF(8)

NAME

       crm_diff - identify changes to the cluster configuration and apply patches to the configuration files

SYNOPSIS

	   crm_diff [-?|-V] [-o filename] [-O string] [-p filename] [-n filename] [-N string]

DESCRIPTION

       The crm_diff command assists in creating and applying XML patches. This can be useful for visualizing the changes between two versions of
       the cluster configuration or saving changes so they can be applied at a later time using cibadmin.

OPTIONS

       --help, -?
	   Print a help message.

       --original filename, -o filename
	   Specify the original file against which to diff or apply patches.

       --new filename, -n filename
	   Specify the name of the new file.

       --original-string string, -O string
	   Specify the original string against which to diff or apply patches.

       --new-string string, -N string
	   Specify the new string.

       --patch filename, -p filename
	   Apply a patch to the original XML. Always use with -o.

       --cib, -c
	   Compare or patch the inputs as a CIB. Always specify the base version with -o and provide either the patch file or the second version
	   with -p or -n, respectively.

       --stdin, -s
	   Read the inputs from stdin.

EXAMPLES

       Use crm_diff to determine the differences between various CIB configuration files and to create patches. By means of patches, easily reuse
       configuration parts without having to use the cibadmin command on every single one of them.

	1. Obtain the two different configuration files by running cibadmin on the two cluster setups to compare:

	       cibadmin -Q > cib1.xml
	       cibadmin -Q > cib2.xml

	2. Determine whether to diff the entire files against each other or compare just a subset of the configurations.

	3. To print the difference between the files to stdout, use the following command:

	       crm_diff -o cib1.xml -n cib2.xml

	4. To print the difference between the files to a file and create a patch, use the following command:

	       crm_diff -o cib1.xml -n cib2.xml > patch.xml

	5. Apply the patch to the original file:

	       crm_diff -o cib1.xml -p patch.xml

FILES

       /var/lib/heartbeat/crm/cib.xml--the CIB (minus status section) on disk. Editing this file directly is strongly discouraged.
