Situation:-

1. I have a list of config files like 40+ would be getting deployed in the /app/abcd/src/Config/ (This will have hundred's of config files with similar extensions)
2. Now I should write a script where that should search all these new files (40+) in that /app/abcd/src/Config/ directory and if any of the files are not available and those should be displayed as output.

Please assist me in getting this done.

Thanks in advance !

You say you have a list of 40+ config files in a directory and you say there will be hundreds of config files in that directory. Then you say that there are 40+ new files and that if any of those new files are not "available", they should be displayed.

Is this list of 40+ files contained in your head? Is it written on a Post-It note? Is it in a file??? Is this list of 40+ files a list of 40+ new and old files? Or is this list of 40+ files just new files?

What determines whether a file is "new" or not? Is there a list of new files?

What is your definition of "available"? The file is present? The file is readable? The file is a readable, regular file? Something else???

What operating system are you using?

What shell are you using?
