Sorry for the late reply

Don,

Names of the files in various directories will be same except for the datetime appended at the end of the files. All the files will appear in all the directories. I can use the BASH shell or the basic shell or KSH. I am just trying to get a "Diff" from the similar files in different directories. Output will be similar to the "diff" command. The script i have curently is as shown in my original post - List of "diff" commands will actual files-names for all the files.
Code:
/usr/bin/diff Directory1/f1.txt.04012015 Directory2/f1.txt.04022015 
/usr/bin/diff Directory1/f2.txt.04012015 Directory2/f2.txt.04022015
