ruffi,

I´m not sure if is what you need, but maybe adding at the end of the script a comparison line would help.

Maybe something like
Code:
diff $x FILENAME

or

cmp $ FILENAME

This in order to compare original file with the changed one.

NAME

       bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files

SYNOPSIS

       bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
       bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]

DESCRIPTION

       Bzcmp  and  bzdiff  are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on bzip2 compressed files.  All options specified are passed directly to
       cmp or diff.  If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an uncompressed file1.bz2.  If two  files  are	specified,
       then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff.	The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +--------------------+-----------------+
       |  ATTRIBUTE TYPE    | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
       +--------------------+-----------------+
       |Availability	    | SUNWbzip	      |
       +--------------------+-----------------+
       |Interface Stability | External	      |
       +--------------------+-----------------+
SEE ALSO

       cmp(1), diff(1), bzmore(1), bzless(1), bzgrep(1), bzip2(1)

BUGS

       Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
