Please hel me with file comparison script

Hi All,

I have two files(file1.txt and file2.txt)
and also file names which are presented in the files also present in the directory gdir/db/files.

Code:

file1.txt

/db/day_files/data_feed20161231
/db/day_files/data_feed20161229
/db/day_files/data_feed20161125
/db/day_files/data_feed20161118

Code:

file2.txt
data_feed20161229
data_feed20161125

Req1 : First we have to check whether the file1.txt and file2.txt files are presented in the directory gdir/db/files or not.
If any of the file is not existed just display the message file1.txt is not existed
(or) file2.txt is not existed (or) file1.txt and file2.txt are not existed.

Req2:Read the file names from file1.txt and compare it against all the names present in the file2.txt file in a loop.
And that loop will run checking one file name at a time.

a. If the file name matches, will move that file to a path gdir/old/files and return value 10 to a variable and will keep running if more file names exist.
b. If the file name does not match in the list it will return value 20 and continue with other.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

zdiff

ZDIFF(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZDIFF(1)

NAME

       zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files

SYNOPSIS

       zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
       zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]

DESCRIPTION

       Zcmp  and  zdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on files compressed via gzip.  All options specified are passed directly to
       cmp or diff.  If only file1 is specified, it is compared to the uncompressed contents of file1.gz.  If two files are specified, their  con-
       tents  (uncompressed  if  necessary)  are  fed to cmp or diff.  The input files are not modified.  The exit status from cmp or diff is pre-
       served.

SEE ALSO

       cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1)

BUGS

       Messages from the cmp or diff programs may refer to file names such as "-" instead of to the file names specified.
