Folder contents getting appended as strings while redirecting file contents to a variable
Hi one of the output of the command is as below
now if i try to store this into a variable something like this happens
thse are nothing but folder contents where these files are... any workaround available for this.. i need to store the output in variable itself and not file...
Give shell script....which takes two file names as input and compares the contents, is both are same delete second file's contents.....
I try with "diff"...... but confusion how to use "diff" with if ---else
Thanking you (5 Replies)

Hi,
I am trying to find out whether there are any Unix utilities that compares folders, files and contents within the file and provides a comprehensive report. The comparison can be against base version of a folder and file with content. Can you please let me know of such a utility?
