you are quite the life saver, thank you very much.

Also is there a quick command you can use for a an if statement to see if the files differ?

if [statement here].

I had a look at the cmp utility and the exit status was 0 is the files were identical and 1 if the files were diferent. but I couldn't get the exit status printed to screen.

Thanks in advance
