I don't thinjk the script you gave us will work. At all. However try this to find those missing:
But hereyou have used
Quote:
for j in p1.ul p2.ul j1.ul j2.ul r1.ul r2.ul
Instead of hardcoding the filenames, is it possible to read them one by one from audio.txt and loop rather? Because there are many more files then I mentioned and its hard to hardcode each one of them..

My bad, I framed the question little wrongly. I need the reverse scenario.
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.
If your shell supports process substitution:
Alternatively, you can use a temporary file:
If you intend to run multiple instances of the temp file version, you'll need a more robust scheme (using mktemp would be much better).
Another approach would be to take a sorted list of the basenames of the pathnames generated by find and use comm(1) to compare it against a sorted audio.txt.
