Thank you for helping me.

compare files:
I mean I'm given the path to a directory. How do I go into the directory, and how can I tell it's a .in file and find a corresponding .out file?



I meant to write:
Code:
elif test $3 -ne [0-9][0-9]*

Can I still use this?


I don't know how to get the C program from the second argument path...Smilie

Hey guys.

I'm not sure if this is the correct way.
So, I figured out:
Code:
getFile=` find $1 -type f -name '*.in' `

I think this means it finds all the .in files in the path of argument 1.

Now, I'm really stuck on how to find it's corresponding .out file.
