Re: File Differences

This doesn't directly answer your question, but judging from your shebang line, I gather that this is a Unixoid system. The GNU utility diff (and maybe other diffs as well) can be used to compare directories. E.g.:

% diff --recursive dir1 dir2

The person who asked for my help, had tried this. Some of the files are over 1000 lines in size, and trying to wade through the diff files was nearly impossible. TStanley -------- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing -- Edmund Burke	[reply]

I wouldn't give up on `diff` though. You can use the `-q` switch which only outputs whether the files differ. By using some of the other `diff` switches (like -B which ignores changes whose lines are blank), you might be able to reduce the number of files that really differ. lupey	[reply] [d/l] [select]
