[SOLVED] md5sum compare script

chris_carr · 11-07-2011, 12:53 PM

@catkin...Thank you so much this is the cloesest I have been to what I needed in weeks. How would I write it so that it only prints the files that do not match? Sorry...i'm just a little over my head on this one lol.

Something like this

Code:

#!/bin/bash

while read md5sum file
do
    matches=$( grep $md5sum md5Boutput.txt )
    [[ $matches = '' ]] && echo "$file"
done < md5Aoutput.txt

@catkin...does not get much better than that. Thank you so much for all of your help. You have just saved me another 3 weeks of mind numbing work.
