I wish to compare all the files in a directory....comparing is by content. And same files should be printed...
echo "program : $0"
cd $1
for a in *
do
[code]....
This logic did not give the correct result...
I am fairly new to Linux and was needing some help on a comparing more than 2 files. I am try to come up with something that would compare at least 10+ different files to a master file and give me an output of what is missing.
Example would be: a.txt, b.txt, c.txt, d.txt compare each of them to the master.txt file, than output the missing text for each file into new file.
I came across comm and diff commands, am I looking in the right place or is there a much easier way of doing this?
I have a file1:
Code:
$ cat PF(1).out
Tmp39 PF10271.3 423 ENSP00000326063 488 1.2e-201 41-478
Tmp39 PF10271.3 423 ENSP00000338165 492 1.9e-200 46-479
[code].....
Is there a way, besides writing a PERL program, to read each line one by one in file A and tell if this line also exists in file B? Can this be done via a shell script?

comm -2 -3 file1 file2 does not work
Similar threads provide matched content. What I am looking for is unique content.
Iam having the following two linux files.
[Code]...
Now i want the following out puts
1. similar nos in both the file 1 and file 2 > output= File 3;
2. In file 1, but not in file 2 > out put= file 4;
3. In file 2, but not in file 1 > output = file 5;
The command sdiff is giving output with symbols > < | etc, and the such output file is not clear and ready to print. I want to print directly the output files. AND ALSO TELL ME WHERE I HAVE TO WRITE AWK PROGRAMS AND HOW TO RUN IT.
Two files contain:
file1:
cat
dog
fish
hamster
file2:
cat
fish
ferret
dog
How do you change the case of the letters in file1.txt to uppercase and compare with file2 all in one command?
Im trying to compare two files and I only want to display the user names that are in the first file and not the second.
So I have one file named final.txt (which contains every user name and only the user names in a list no other information)
Then I have another file Over1.txt (which only contains certain users that have different permissions This file is also setup differently with the user name and some information about the user after the user name.
I need a way to compare final.txt to over1.txt so that I will only display the names that are in final.txt but not Over1.txt
Ive tried using diff and comm but just cant seem to get it two work correctly. Im not sure if im missing a option or what.
We copied the directories/files from one filesys1 to filesys2 and since that initial copy have further added more directories/files to filesys2 from another source. How can we compare filesys1 to filesys2 to make sure all files/directories were copied successfully to filesys2? I would like a way to check filesys1 against filesys2 and only show/output when something is missing from filesys2 that exists in filesys1 and not report the additional/extra directroies/files that have been copied to filesys2.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to find the latest modified directory. I know that the command 'ls -rtl' gives the latest modified file/directory at the end. But my specific requirement is: If I create two directories named dir1, dir2 in the same order. so now my latest modified directory is "dir2". Now inside each directories, I created a file. Now in the last, I modify the file in "dir1". So overall, the content of dir1 got modified recently. If I use the command 'ls -rtl', this will still show dir2 as latest, as it is created recently. But I want the directory in which any internal content at any sub-hierarchy modified recently. so with what linux command I'll get this latest modified directory (dir1)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two files
Code:
we have to consider here $5 , $6 , $7 for our search
file2.txt
Code:
Here we should take only $2 for comparison. As you can most of the $2 field records has value and some do not have value.
Question:I want to take the fields $5 , $6 , $7 from file 1 and compare it with $2 field from file 2. and the rsult should be like this:
Code:
The final output will look like this
Actual file1.txt (before running the code)
Code:
FIle1.txt after running the above said condition
Code:
So the field $5 , $6 , $7 should get replaced from the matched valued of $1(file1)
What's the command for comparing files? I think I've used it before, but can't remember it.

I want to compare 2 files and show the differences in a text file.
For example, if i open File A an B in notepad
File A:
File B:

line3 is missing in File B
So if I did a File compare (line by line), the differences will be in line3, line4, line5, line 6.
But I dont want it to be like that.

I've got an interesting challenge for the shell scripting wizards here. I've got a mySQL dump of three files for my amarok database with the intention of copying some files to my media server (cover art) so that I can keep the server the server and not rely on my local machine.
Step 1: Identify any cover art files on my local machine.
I did this with:
Code:
mysql -u amarok -p amarok -e "SELECT * FROM images WHERE path like '%.kde%'" > cover_art.txt
Output looks like this:
[Code]....
What I have here now is the ENTIRE album list in my collection -- and something to compare the IDs in Step 1 against. I'm going to stop here and will update the thread as I get past this stumbling block. "ID" in cover_art.txt = "image" in albums.txt... straightforward enough, right?
So the question is this: how do I create a simple shell script that will loop through the IDs in cover_art.txt (i.e. characters 0 -> 4 -- it will always be a 4 digit ID) and then search for that ID in the Albums.txt file.
I am using find to search for .tgz files modified more than 7 days ago and delete them.find /directory/ -iname backup*.tgz -daystart -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} My problem is that find will go through the content of tarball as well and list all content. I want to only search main tarball and delete it if older than 7 days.

I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively

I just wondering what is the difference between RES, SHR, and VIRT.
1) The VIRT always seems to be higher. Is this using the paging file system. (virtual memory on the harddisk, the swap memory)
2) Is the RES memory the actual physical RAM memory?
3) Is shared memory sharing memory with other processes?
4) Just a final question. As I am running on a HP Mini 210, memory and CPU is a resource I don't have a abundence of. So if was to compare for example 2 difference browsers i.e. firefox and midora. What should I brench mark between to 2 to find what one uses less resources?
