To get you started, to get something that _looks_ like the format of the files in 'file_for_compare' you can use date +%Y%m%d
The dir_for_compare one is much the same deal, just build up a string from thge %<letter> symbols and spaces.

Here goes:

Quote:
d=/tmp/directory_for_compare/
f=/tmp/file_for_compare

x=/tmp/today_file_in_dir.tmp
y=/tmp/today_entry_in_compare_file.tmp

ls -ltr ${d}/*.* |grep "$(date "+%b %e")" |awk '{print $9}' |awk -F/ '{print $NF}' > $x
grep ";$(date "+%Y%m%d")" ${f} |cut -d";" -f1 > $y
echo "file_for_compare do not have but directory_for_compare have"
diff $x $y |grep "<" |cut -d"<" -f2 |tr -d " "
echo "file_for_compare have but directory_for_compare do not have"
diff $x $y |grep ">" |cut -d">" -f2 |tr -d " "
