Re: [Freedos-user] Directory comparison program
You could try a DOS port of (GNU, diffutils?) "diff", for example from the Delorie DJGPP compiler website. Diff can be used to list differences in text content of files or directories full of files, but you can also use it with options "-qr" to just get a list which files only exist in which of the two directories and which files exist in both with different contents. Files which exist in both and have the same contents will not get listed, unless you add the option -s Whether file sizes differ is covered by whether contents do, but diff does not tell you whether date and time differ. You could abuse the dry run mode of rsync for that, maybe, but this would probably be a weird solution for the task. So I suggest: diff -qr onedirectory otherdirectory or, at your choice, diff -qrs onedirectory otherdirectory :-) Eric Yes indeed. It would be recursive too. Report the absence or presence of files/ directories, differences of file sizes, date/ time.

Re: [Freedos-user] Directory comparison program
Hi John, Could You help us help you more by sharing a bit about your goals? Are you wanting to compare directory to learn if all files were moved from one place to another, as if doing a backup to a USB drive? Are you wanting to check file attributes? Are you wanting to compare the kind of information a tool shares about directories? Kare On Wed, 20 Mar 2024, hms--- via Freedos-user wrote: Does any know of a directory comparison program?
