Compare/Diff between directories and subdirectories?
Hi,

Does anybody know the cmd to compare two areas and print out the different files w/ path?

I tried cmp and diff and dircmp but with no luck.

Should I grep and print?

For example:

/aa/images/jan
..../images/feb

/bb/images/jan
..../images/feb

i want to print the compare, find, and print the difference of /aa and /bb.

Thanks again.

What counts as an 'area'?

Have you looked at 'find'?

Sorry for being vague.

Nevermind about the 'area'.

On my unix box, I have the following directories:

/home/intranet/images

and

/home/internet/images

I want to compare the two and print out the difference w/ path. Something like this:

#some cmd
+ /images/jan07/home.gif
+ /images/jan07/button.gif

These two files exist in /intranet/images but not in /internet/images.

Sorry if it's not clear.

See if this works for you:
Code:
ls -1 /home/intranet/images | sort > /tmp/Intra
ls -1 /home/internet/images | sort > /tmp/Inter
diff Intra Inter
