Comparing subdirectory names
I am trying to reformat data from one private directory and reformat it and move it to a public one, but i only want to get directories that have not already been moved to the public directory. Here's what i'm working with
Dir1 contains folders for each named with timestamp 20090320081302 20090327080738 20090410081604 .... Dir2 contains folders named as such 20090320-Topic1 20090327-Topic2 20090410-Topic3 what i want to do is compare the first 8 characters of the folders in dir1 and the first 8 char of folders in dir2 and get only the ones that are not in dir2 and (then go thru all of them and rename them accordingly and upload to dir2 but that's another post i suppose i think i can do that easily) Any help would be great with comments as i'm new to unix scripting. |
