Hi Inititates -> Saints ,

In the process of development of a tool which recursively goes through all sub folders comparing files against same folder structure files , I ended up having a problem.

Please read the following for much details-

1) I take a folder from the user and mark it as main folder.

2)Assumes there are 2 other folders with same folder structure.

3)Compares the MD5 values of a file in main folder tree with a file in the same position as in main folder from the second and third folder.

4)prints certain values based on a logic developed by me.

Now for the problem -

1) When there exists a zip file in sub folder of main and similar or same zip files exists in sub folders of second and third folder , the result got is wrong because the file is not extracted and MD5 is digested for the zip file.

2)Here i used a zipdiff.exe tool( free tool of course )to finish of the work but that again is not able to do what I wanted it to.

I kindly request you all to look into this if you find it interesting and come out with a solution..

if($temp_var2 ne $temp_var1 and $temp_var3 ne $temp_var2 and $temp_var
+2!~/FNF/ and $temp_var3!~/FNF/ and $temp_var3 ne $temp_var1){
if(($file1 eq $file2) =~(/.zip/i)){
                                system "c:\\zipdiff.exe $file1 $file2>
+d:\\zipdiff.tmp";
                                open (ZDF, "<d:\\zipdiff.tmp");
                                $zipdiffresult = (<ZDF>);
                                close (ZDF);
                                #DeleteFile ("c:\\bin\\zipdiff.tmp");
                                if($zipdiffresult!~/different/){
                                printf LOG"2";$v1=1;}
                                else{printf LOG"5";$v1=1;}
                                }
        }

Here $temp_var1,$temp_var2,$temp_var3 are the MD5 values of a file with same name existing in main , second and third folders respectively.

$v1 is a flag , which i am setting to find any error.

Thanks a ton in advance , as I believe , there are pearled people here..
