Dear JGT,

I welcome the points which you raised. Let me explain.
1. I copied a list of files and the files are listed in x.txt as my script. I dont know all the files are copied successfully. It is possible to missed out one or more files in the destination. Also it is natural that the destination directory may have some other files also. That's why I use the *.* which create checksum for all the files in the destination directory. Then I will loop thru my x.txt file line by line and check the files is copied and the checksum value comparison. Also, the files are not with a same extension.

2. The file 1 or 0 indicates the checksum comparison result. In case the value is 0 then the file identified that it is not copied correctly or failed.
3. In this case, I cant use diff command to compare the two files becuase the no. of files in x.txt may differ with tmp.txt. The reason is, the destination directory may contains many other files including the copied files. If the directory have only the copied files then it is possible.

I hope you understand. In case further doubts, I am ready to explain in brief again.

My problem is, the fgrep always return 0 even though the checksum values are same.

-Sethu.
