Hi,
I wish to compare tree stucures of two directories. that is to compare the subdirectories as well as their subdirectories and so on...only directories and subdirectories and their subdirectories. I am not interested about their contnets like files.
I am working on Solaris:
Here is the code which I prepared but it is not giving the appropriate results, Can any one help me in finding out the changes to eb made so that I can get the required output.
code is-----------------------
#! /bin/sh
#
#
#
# function for comparing directories
#----------------------------function compare()--------------------------------------------
compare(){
echo "in compare function: "
if [ -d $1 -a -d $2 ];
then
comparedir $1 $2
else
echo "type mismatch: $1 and $2"
false
fi
return
}
#
#-----------------------------Function
comparedir()------------------------------------------
#
comparedir()
{
result=0
echo "compare fdir function:"
for i in `(ls -A $1 && ls -A $2)|sort|uniq`; do
compare $1/$i $2/$i || result=1
done
return $result
}
#
#
#--------------------------------Main script starts here---------------------------------------
bool=true
while($bool)
do
echo "enter the standard directory with which comparision to be done: \c"
read dir1
if [ -d $dir1 ]; then
bool=false
else
echo "$dir1 does not exists; enter valid directory name."
bool=true
fi
if [ $bool = false ]; then
echo "enter the directory to be compared: \c"
read dir2
if [ -d $dir2 ]; then
bool=false
else
echo "$dir2 does not exists; enter valid directory name."
bool=true
fi
fi
done
compare $dir1 $dir2
i=echo "$?"
if [ $i -eq 0 ];
then
echo "directory tree structures are same!!!!!!!!!!!"
else
echo "directory tree structures are not same????"
fi
exit 1
-------------------------------------------------
Thanks in advance
