Thanks Chubler. your solution did work as expected but am trying change the ouput file name as *_result.txt. I tried to update this line like this but didn't work
Code:
log=$(basename "$dest"_result .cnf).txt

Could you please tell me what am doing is correct in above stmt and if possible can you tell me how to acrchive this generated file (input/output) to someother path. so that if we run this script again it should genreated the new set of input/output file then it should generate new compare result file by comparing pervious result and new result file.

like :
1. generate input/result file (already done by above script)

2. If we run the above script again, it should check if there is any files present in output folder if yes, then move this genereated files to someother location with datetime stamp in the filename(archive) . if no files found then just generate files.

3. from step 2, if new set of results files generated (if files archived), then should compare archived result file to newly genereated result file.
ie, something like this
Code:
sdiff -s old_result_file new_result_file

please do help me on this.

ManyThanks,

	      operate in all platform-specific directories (default: operate only in the directory for this platform)

       --silent or -s
	      silently skip over existing scripts/binaries instead of printing a warning
