Need help to write a shell script ASAP
Hi,

1) Need help to write script in KSH to detect a duplicate file.
2) The original file needs to be moved from current path to a different path
3) The duplicate file should continue to stay in the same path.

Exact file names & duplicate file names are given below. Please help me at the earliest.

Duplicate file in term by the name of the file or the content of the file?

---------- Post updated at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:38 PM ----------

As you said duplicate files in the same directory so you must be saying that there are two files with same content. But how do you find which one as orignal and which one is duplicate?

Need details
could you give some differences between original & duplicate files,

I mean, gimme some parameterised differences,

is we need to move the old files ( i.e. which is created first.) to other directory. and need to retain the latest file in the current directory.

Thanks

a=`echo $file | cut -c 1-60`
find $path_Files_located/* -type f ! -name $file > temp.txt
b=`/bin/grep $a temp.txt | wc -l`
