script find files in two dirs HELP
I have a directory which is /home/mark/files/ , inside this particular I have a bunch of filles (see examples below)

TST_SHU_00014460_20090302.txt
TST_SHU_00016047_20090302.txt
TST_SHU_00007838_20090303.txt
TST_SHU_00056485_20090303.txt
TST_SHU_00014460_20090303.txt
TST_SHU_00014176_20090303.txt

And I also have another directory which is /home/dest/ which has the following dirs

00014460
00016047
00056485

As you can see, the directories matches a part of the files, inside each one of these directories i have subdirectories and anywhere inside these dirs the same files as in the first dir is copied there

I would like to have a shell script that would get the latest 10 file names created on the first dir (/home/mark/files/) and find them on the second dir /home/dest/ and when a file on the first directory has 0 bytes but on the second directory has data send me an e-mail and viscebersa when a file on the second directory has 0 bytes but the files on the first directory has data send me an email.

Thanks

bomstrip

BOMSTRIP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       BOMSTRIP(1)

NAME

     bomstrip, bomstrip-files -- strip the BOM sequence from UTF-8 files

SYNOPSIS

     bomstrip
     bomstrip-files file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The bomstrip utility reads UTF-8 data from its standard input and copies it to its standard output, stripping the BOM (byte-order mark) from
     the beginning of the text if it is present.  There are no command-line options and no parameters.

     The bomstrip-files utility removes the UTF-8 BOM from the specified files, saving each file's original contents with a .bom extension.  It
     uses the bomstrip utility, trying to execute it as ``bomstrip''; if the bomstrip utility is installed under another name, or if a more com-
     plex command is desired, it may be supplied in the BOMSTRIP environment variable.

EXAMPLES

     Strip the BOM, if present, from a text file:

	   bomstrip < bom.txt > nobom.txt

     Strip the BOM, if present, from all text files, backing them up with a .bom extension:

	   bomstrip-files *.txt

     Use the OCAML implementation of bomstrip:

	   env BOMSTRIP='ocaml bomstrip.ocaml' bomstrip-files *.txt

SEE ALSO

     The bomstrip home page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mechiel/projects/bomstrip/

HISTORY

     The bomstrip utility (in many languages) was written by Mechiel Lukkien, with implementations in various languages sent to him by others,
     including Andreas Gohr, Andrew Gerrand, Berteun Damman, Matthijs Bomhoff, Peter Pentchev, and Ruben Smelik.  The bomstrip-files utility and
     this manual page were written by Peter Pentchev in the hope that they reflect the behavior of all the bomstrip implementations in all lan-
     guages.
