[SOLVED] How to search for list of files with same names as untar'd file and do a diff?

Batistuta_g_2000 · 03-22-2013, 02:44 PM

Ok I need to do an extract of a tar.gz to a temp dir
then I need to get these file names and see if the same files are in another directory...

Where should I start - I got as far as unzipping to a temp dir...what now?

How do I create an array of these filenames and do a find on the other directory and then do a diff to see if they are equal?

Help please.

Code:

echo "COMPARE files from TAR"
                          echo "echo $file1........."
                         echo " echo $file2........."
                           echo " echo $file3......."
                             echo "compare file "$2" with file in directory"
                             echo "make a temp dir if one exists check is empty"
                             echo "if not empty script fails."
                             echo "Restore "$2" to temp directory "
                             echo "Do a find of filename in source directory"
                             echo "IF file no-exists echo out FILE NO-EXISTS"
                             echo "IF file exists compare content and print size"
                             echo "IF identical print identical"
                             echo "IF not print different content, current size, archived size"
    if [[ ! -d "$RESTORE_COMP_DIRECTORY" ]]; then
           mkdir -p "$RESTORE_COMP_DIRECTORY"
    fi
    if [[ "$(ls -A $RESTORE_COMP_DIRECTORY)" ]]; then
    echo "Dir "$RESTORE_COMP_DIRECTORY" is not empty exiting"
    exit
    else

Something simple..

cd /path/to/temp/dir
for i in `ls`;do find / -name $i 2>/dev/null; done

Sorry, maybe I should explain...

CHANGE DIRECTORIES TO UNTAR TEMP DIR:
cd /path/to/temp/dir

GRAB THE NAME TO EACH FILE IN DIR, AND SEARCH FOR FILE OF SAME NAME STARTING AT THE ROOT OF THE FILESYSTEM. 2>/dev/null will surepess errors (Permission denied), so that is optional.
for i in `ls`;do find / -name $i 2>/dev/null; done

That is great so then how would I do the following properly - copy the find output to new tmp file, and compare the files in each directory

mkdir $TMP_COMP_DIRECTORY
cd $RESTORE_COMP_DIRECTORY
for i in `ls`;do
NAME=${find / -name $i}
cp $NAME $TMP_COMP_DIRECTORY

diff --brief <(sort $TMP_COMP_DIRECTORY) <(sort $RESTORE_COMP_DIRECTORY) >/dev/null
comp_value=$?

if [ $comp_value -eq 1 ]
then
echo "do something because they're different"
else
echo "do something because they're identical"
fi

I am going a little dizzy looking at the below -

$ ArrayDIFF=()
$ for i in "${ArrayFILE1[@]}"; do
> skip=
> for j in "${ArrayFILE2[@]}"; do
> [[ $i == $j ]] && { skip=1; break; }
> done
> [[ -n $skip ]] || ArrayDIFF+=("$i")
> done
$ declare -p ArrayDIFF

So let's go back to the beginning because I think this is getting confusing.

You want to:

1) untar an archive to a temp directory.
2) Check the rest of the filesystem to see if any of the files in the tar archive are duplicate names of any files anywhere else on the system
3) Check to see if the files are the same, not just named the same.

Here is the script, I just created a quick test on my machine and it worked fine.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#UNTAR file to temp dir
tar xvf tarfile.tar /var/tmp/test/

#Change to temp dir
cd /var/tmp/test/

# See if any of the files are duplicate names
for i in `ls`; do 
	f=`find / -name $i 2>/dev/null`
		if [ -z $f ]; then
			continue	
		else
                        echo "Found duplicate for $i"
			echo "diff output for $i and $f"
			diff $i $f
		fi
done
