Thanks oombera. I can pretty much guarantee that the directory will always be in the following format:

/u/[variable directory]/pfx/
and
/u/[variable directory]/main/

it is the [variable directory] bit that needs changing all the time.

would the script be more accurate if instead of
echo $LINE | grep -q "/"

I had
echo $LINE | grep -q "/u/"


I'll try it now, both ways and keep you posted Smilie

Edit1: I'm not entirely sure what dirOne and dirTwo are..? Source and Target?

TRACE-CMD-CHECK_EV(1)													     TRACE-CMD-CHECK_EV(1)

NAME
trace-cmd-check-events - parse the event formats on local system SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd check-events [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) check-events parses format strings for all the events on the local system. It returns whether all the format strings can be parsed correctly. It will load plugins unless specified otherwise. This is useful to check for any trace event format strings which may contain some internal kernel function references which cannot be decoded outside of the kernel. This may mean that either the unparsed format strings of the trace events need to be changed or that a plugin needs to be created to parse them. OPTIONS
-N - Don't load plugins SEE ALSO
trace-cmd(1), trace-cmd-record(1), trace-cmd-report(1), trace-cmd-stop(1), trace-cmd-extract(1), trace-cmd-reset(1), trace-cmd-split(1), trace-cmd-list(1), trace-cmd-listen(1), trace-cmd-start(1) AUTHOR
