Hi

I what, a script snippet for "comparing two directory tree structures only " not the contents of directories(like files..etc).

Thanking you a lot.

Please share with us what you have done so far, and let us take a look at your current script that you've attempted to write to solve this problem yourself.

If I solve it for you, will i get your mark in computer science in return?

And if i don't, will i have to do the imposition for not doing the homework assignment instead?

i done with this code but it is displaying the contents of directories as well..i want to test only directory tree structures...

the code is here:

#!/bin/sh
dircmp -s -w 200 $1 $2 > $3
grep -v $1 $3 > tmp
# this line is for deleting page headers
echo "files only in directory $1:" > `basename $1`.dir1
echo "files only in directory $2:" > `basename $2`.dir2
cut -f1 tmp >> `basename $1`.dir1
cut -f2 tmp >> `basename $2`.dir2
uniq `basename $1`.dir1 | sed -e '/^$/d' > `basename $1`.output1
uniq `basename $2`.dir2 | sed -e '/^$/d' > `basename $2`.output2
#this line is for deleting blank lines present in output file


so can one tell wht changes should be made to the code so taht it can only check the two directory tree structures??

thanks a lot..

Why do you need to do this ????
ls -l dir2 | grep ^d |awk '{print }' |tee a| ls -l dir1 | grep ^d |awk '{print }
' |tee b|diff a b
~
rm a b

---
ls dir1
d1 d2 test1
test1 is a file
ls dir2
d1 d2 dir3 dir4 yy
yy is a file

Output
====
3,4d2
< dir3
< dir4

Hi every one,
Akriti --> what You have said is correct and Thanx for your reply.

but what I want is to even check the subdiretories present in those directories and compare them..what you are showing is only of one level..I want to check two directory tree structures i.e. all the levels present inside those two directories. I want this to check is the newly updated files should be of same directory structure as of previous version.

aaiting for your reply soling my problem.

Thanking you alot
