Repost-Korn Shell Scripting

Hi, being very new to Korn Shell Scripting I am hoping that someone here can help me. I want to compare file name in scp/inbox directory to file name stored inside a file in pnt/compare directory.
Hi, being very new to Korn Shell Scripting I am hoping that someone here can help me. I want to compare file name in scp/inbox directory to file name stored inside a file in pnt/compare directory.
1. Copy the first file name from the scp/inbox directory and insert into the pntcompare.dat. Then exit program.
2. Otherwise, if there is a file name pntcompare.dat in /pnt/compare directory then capture the first file name from the scp/inbox directory and compare to the file name's information stored inside the pntcompare.dat in /pnt/compare directory.
3. If they matched then remove the current file from the /scp/inbox directory to pnt/badfiles directory
4. Then create a badpnt.dat file and store the record information from file in /scp/inbox directory..
5. Next, remove the pntcompare.dat file from /pnt/compare directory.
6. Also remove the touch file (inputloop.touch) from Home directory.
7. If they not matched then remove contents in the pntcompare.dat then exit.

Here is an example of the file name pnt.20070327083828.000000066

Here is what I can come up so far, please help.
file=`/$ROOTDIR/pnt/compare -name 'pntcompare.dat' -print`
if [ -z $file ] then
pntcnt=`ls -l /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox | grep "PNT." | wc -l`
if [[ $pntcnt1 -gt 0 ]] then
ls /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox | grep "PNT." > /$ROOTDIR/pnt/compare/pntcompare.dat
pntcnt=`wc -l /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox/pntcompare.dat|awk '{print $1}`
curcnt=1
do
filename=`head -$curcnt /$ROOTDIR/pnt/compare/pntcompare.dat | tail -1`
exit
else

Please help!!!

Thanks
