Both the above approaches of code are giving audio file names which are present from audio.txt in those paths. But I want those not present in those paths.

Did you test our solution?

By the way, the "-v" option in the "egrep" means strings that do NOT match.

And little correction below as well,

Inside those pop, jazz, rock folders there are following files,
p1.ul, p2.ul, j1.ul, j2.ul, r1.ul, r2.ul

And I have a file named as "audio.txt" in the path /root/audios, which is having the following contents,
p1.ul
p2.ul
p3.ul
j1.ul
j2.ul
j3.ul
r1.ul
r2.ul
r3.ul

So I need to display p3.ul, j3.ul, r3.ul from audio.txt file which are not present in the those folders.

Thanks !
Yes I tested it. Instead of displaying p3.ul, j3.ul, r3.ul alone from audio.txt file, it is displaying all the file names present in audio.txt
p1.ul
p2.ul
p3.ul
j1.ul
j2.ul
j3.ul
r1.ul
r2.ul
r3.ul
