Compare files with different names in different directories
Hi,

I have a requirement to compare files in different directories with different names. The files have a datestamp in their name (It might not be a sequential datetimestamp).
This is for Redhat Linux. I have more than 5 directories and more than 10 file in each directory to be compared.

Code:
/Directory1
       f1.txt.04012015
       f2.txt.04012015
       f3.txt.04012015
/Directory2
       f1.txt.04022015
       f2.txt.04022015
       f3.txt.04022015
/Directory3
       f1.txt.04032015
       f2.txt.04032015
       f3.txt.04032015

So far I have written a shell script to do this in a very simple manner - But i think there has to be a better way

diff Directory1/f1.txt.04012015 Directory2/f1.txt.04022015
diff Directory1/f2.txt.04012015 Directory2/f2.txt.04022015

ATR_ANALYSIS(1p)						   User Commands						  ATR_ANALYSIS(1p)

NAME

       ATR_analysis - analyse a smart card ATR

SYNOPSIS

       ATR_analysis [ATRstring]

DESCRIPTION

       ATR_analysis is used to parse the ATR (Answer To Reset) sent by a smart card.

       The command also tries to find the card model using an ATR database stored in a text file smartcard_list.txt.

       The smartcard_list.txt file is searched in ./, /usr/local/pcsc/ and /usr/share/pcsc/ directories.

       Exemple:
	$ ATR_analysis '3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52'
	ATR: 3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
	+ TS = 3B --> Direct Convention
	+ T0 = A7, Y(1): 1010, K: 7 (historical bytes)
	  TB(1) = 00 --> Programming Param P: 0, I: 0
	  TD(1) = 40 --> Y(i+1) = 0100, Protocol T = 0
	-----
	  TC(2) = 18 --> Work waiting time: 960 x 24 x (Fi/F)
	+ Historical bytes: 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52

	Possibly identified card:
	3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
	       Gemplus GPK8000

BUGS

       Maybe many bugs since I am not a ISO 7816 expert.
