Let's say I have two directories dir1, dir2 each with 1000 files. Of these 1000 files in each directory, there are 50 files named file1.txt, file2.txt ... file50.txt. The rest of the files do not follow any pattern and are very large in size.
Now is there any way to compare dir1/file1.txt and dir2/file1.txt dir1/file2.txt and dir2/file2.txt .... dir1/file50.txt and dir2/file50.txt Manually diffing the files 50 times is cumbersome. Something like diff dir1/file*.txt dir2/file*.txt is what I am after. I do not want to do diff -r dir1 dir2 since that compares the other 950 files as well besides the 50 files that I want. Any idea how to achieve this in the most generic fashion? Has anyone done this kind of thing before? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
