Hi,

I have some 10 files in one directory and 10 files in another diretory

/t1/t2/file1.txt
/t1/t2/file2.txt
/t1/t2/file3.txt
/t1/t2/file4.txt
.
.
.
.
etc

similarly

/t1/t3/file1.txt
/t1/t3/file2.txt
/t1/t3/file3.txt
/t1/t3/file4.txt
.
.
.
etc

file1,file2,file3 are the files which contains some data..

/t1/t2/file1.txt --- contains original data
/t1/t3/file1.txt ---- contains same data as above but with small changes

I can use diff command to find the difference between these two files, but i want to find it for all the files.. which will be the best solution..

file to file difference ( say both the directories have 100 files like that with similar file name)

It would be of great help...


Thanks in advance..

Have a look at the dirdiff utility if it is available on your platform. Otherwise just write a small shell script to loop through each filename in the first directory use the diff utility to compare it to the same file in the second directory.

DIRDIFF, i am not finding it, but i saw another command dircmp, and this works..

is there any other solution possible..
