# sierrathedog04, jonathansamuel@yahoo.com, August 2001 + # First parameter is the target or VOB directory. + # Optional second parameter is the source or current directory. + + # Ver. 1.1, Sept. 13, 2001. Now uses File::Compare instead of diff; + # Modified printouts so only files are listed. (Not directories). + # Ver. 1.2 Sept. 19, 2001. Accepts optional parameters 'modified' and +'created' followed by directory names. If these parameters are used then the program wil +l copy all modified files to the modified directory and all changed files to the changed +directory. + use strict; + require File::Compare; + + use Getopt::Long; + my $modifiedDir; + my $createdDir; + GetOptions("modified:s" => \$modifiedDir, "created:s", => \$createdDir +); $| = 1; + + print "\n"; + my $targetDir = shift || die "Please pass the name of a target directo +ry enclosed in quotes. \n"; + chomp $targetDir; + $targetDir =~ s#/$##; # Removes any trailing forward slash from the di +rectory. unless (-d $targetDir) { + die "$targetDir is not a valid target directory.\nPlease pass the +name of a valid target directory enclosed in quotes. \n"; } my $sourceDir = shift || "."; unless (-d $sourceDir) { die "$sourceDir is not a valid source directory.\nPlease pass the +name of a valid source directory enclosed in quotes. \n"; } if (defined $modifiedDir){ unless (-d $modifiedDir) { die "$modifiedDir is not a valid modified directory. \ +nPlease use the --modified option to pass the name of a valid directo +ry \nto which you wish to copy all modified files."; } } if (defined $createdDir){ unless (-d $createdDir) { die "$createdDir is not a valid created directory. \nP +lease use the --created option to pass the name of a valid directory +\nto which you wish to copy all created files."; } } opendir THISDIR, $sourceDir; my @allFiles = grep { $_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..' && -f "$sourceDir/$_"} + readdir THISDIR; closedir THISDIR; foreach (@allFiles) { if (File::Compare::compare("$sourceDir/$_", "$targetDir/$_") = += 1) { print "$_ in source directory $sourceDir differs from + that in target directory $targetDir\n\n"; print `cp $sourceDir/$_ $modifiedDir/$_` if defined $ +modifiedDir; } elsif (File::Compare::compare("$sourceDir/$_", "$targetDir/$ +_") < 0) { print "$_ found in source directory $sourceDir but not + in target directory $targetDir\n\n"; print `cp $sourceDir/$_ $createdDir/$_` if defined $m +odifiedDir; } } print "\n...Finished checking source.\n\n\n"; opendir targetDIR, $targetDir; my @alltargetFiles = grep { $_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..' && -f $_} readd +ir targetDIR; foreach (@alltargetFiles) { print "$_ found in target directory $targetDir but not in sour +ce directory $sourceDir\n\n" if File::Compare::compare("$sourceDir/$_ +", "$targetDir/$_") < 0; }

    my @alltargetFiles = grep { $_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..' && -f $_} readdir targetDIR;
    ought to be
    my @alltargetFiles = grep { $_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..' && -f "$targetDir/$_"} readdir targetDIR;
