Difference Technique's???
Is there any better way of doing this? I only want to find a status of a diff, ie diff the file and return to me whether it is different or not or non-existant.
This example works, however I think it could be less messier:
workd=`pwd`;find $workd -name "*.sum" | while read line ; do pworkd=`echo $line | sed s./env1./env2.g`; diff $line $pworkd >/dev/null ; echo $line $? ; done >/logs/DiffsInSomeFiles.txt
and I have this script below to acutally write the files that are different to a specific text file with the full path name converted to the basename (to fix having some files have the same name in diff paths). Any better suggestions here as well? ie making it only do the diff once without the status bit?
workd=`pwd`;find $workd -name "*.sum" | while read line ; do pworkd=
`echo $line | sed s./env1./env2.g`; diff $line $pworkd > /dev/null ; if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then base=`echo $line | sed s./._.g`
diff $line $pworkd >/logs/${base}.txt; fi ; done
thanks
