Comparing a distinct value in 1 list with another list
Hi all,
I need to compare the contents of 2 directories where the file contents are similar and take out the filenames whose contents does not exist within the 2 directories. Directory1 1 2 3 4 Directory2 54 55 56 57 Does anyone has a script which can do this? At the end of the command, all the files that does not exist when comparing the 2 directories should be cp -p to another new directory. Thanks.

Hi Joerg,
Thanks for your advice, but the filenames are totally different, however the content is the same, in this case, how would i go about doing it? There are 800+ files in one directory and 500+ in one directory, i know for sure that about 200+ do not share the same contents and i want to move them to another directory. Regards, Alvin

Loop thru files in source directory; see if file exists in destination; if it does then see if the contents differ...
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
SOURCE=/path/to/source/dir
DEST=/path/to/dest/dir
cd $SOURCE
for i in *
do
if [ -f $DEST/$i ]
then
echo file $i exists
if cmp -s $i $DEST/$i
then
echo files are the same
else
echo files are different
fi
else
echo file $i does not exist
fi
done

Thanks for your help, i appreciate it but if the filenames which are different are over 200+ files, how do i automate this with diff to search through their contents in different directories?
