file comparison script
Hi
I need to write a script that can check files in a folder one by one and compare against a fixed file. i.e. I have some files in folder_a file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt and a fixed file in folder_b fixed.txt Inside the fixed.txt, I have line1.sql line2.sql line3.sql Inside the file1.txt, I have line1.sql Inside the file2.txt, I have line2.sql Inside the file3.txt, I have line3.sql I was wondering, how can I write a script that would check file1.txt to file3.txt and make sure that fixed.txt has everthing in those three files? I start by searching the files in folder_a like the following...then I am not sure what to do next  Code:
find ~/Documents/folder_a -name 'file*.txt'

Code:
for file in `ls folder_a`
do
cat $file | while read line
do
grep -q $line folder_b/fixed.txt
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
echo "$file - $line not in fixed.txt"
echo "$line" >> folder_b/fixed.txt
fi
done
done
