I have two folders in two different directories.Both the folders contain set of text files. The name of the files are same in both the folders. I need to write a script to compare all the files in both the folders having same name. I am new to unix. Can you help me out in giving a script to do this job?

-s Suppresses messages about identical files.
-w n Changes the width of the output line to n characters.
The default width is 72.
