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.
In your first post in this thread, you said you had a shell script that produced a script of the diff commands you wanted to execute, and you showed us the 1st two lines of output from that script.
Show us that script; not its output! It will help us understand what your directory structure really looks like, what files need to be compared, what you want done if expected files are missing, ... ... ... Without seeing your working script, there are just too many details that you haven't specified to be able to be of much help; unless you just want us to waste our time trying to guess at your requirements.
I do not know much about shell scripting and need to create a script and I am at a loss. If someone can help me, that would be great!!
