Script to List, Modify, replace filename for an upload?

Hello, here is my problem:

I have ma program in a first directory dir1:
Code:
ls path1/rep1/
file1.f90 file1.f90~ file1.o file2.f90 .... etc...

I have modified folder in an other directory:
Code:
ls path2/rep2/
file1_modified.f90 file2_modified.f90 .... etc...

All files from first directory are not all in the second (only the ones that are modified) but they have the same name plus "modified" at end.

I want to make a short script to:
1- save files of 1st directory from file1.f90 to file_old.f90 if the upload didn't work.

2- copy all files from 2nd directory to the first and change their name as needed.

Do you know how to do this and manipulate filename string and path to do that ?

thanks for your help Smilie

NAME
zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files SYNOPSIS
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ] zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ] DESCRIPTION
Zcmp and zdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on files compressed via gzip. All options specified are passed directly to cmp or diff. If only file1 is specified, it is compared to the uncompressed contents of file1.gz. If two files are specified, their con- tents (uncompressed if necessary) are fed to cmp or diff. The input files are not modified. The exit status from cmp or diff is pre- served. SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1) BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs may refer to file names such as "-" instead of to the file names specified. ZDIFF(1)
