hi ,

I am new to shell.
i have a requirement to compare the one file from one dir to other 7 files of other dir and to find out the duplicate files from the 7 files .
the name of the all files go on changing every weekend.

Thanks in advance

Code:

man diff

diff command is what you are looking for..

Hi thanks for ur reply but the requirement is that we have to check each file and if find duplicates in any file we have to redirect to some other file.

Do you mean duplicate files - meaning every row is the same - or do you mean files that have some duplicate rows?
