Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Compare files in two folders and delete missing ones Post 302400440 by kaah on Wednesday 3rd of March 2010 07:44:10 AM

Thanks for all your responses!
As I understand it it is not possible to a straight directory to directory comparisson since the file names are not identical (the suffixes and the last part of the filenames are different, .iso.torrent vs .iso).
Ex: /dir2/openbsd4_6.iso.torrent vs /dir1/openbsd4_6.iso

Which solutions take this into account? Also all files are not .iso. Some are .rar etc.
