Strip off the extentions using basename, then use diff. for i in $(cat m4a.txt);do basename $i .m4a >> first.txt done
for i in $(cat mp3.txt);do basename $i .mp3 >> second.txt done diff first.txt second.txt If your filenames contain spaces, the for loops above will not work. Use the detox program to fix that first. Regards, Willem On Thu, 12 May 2022, Linux for blind general discussion wrote:
I wrote previously about ffmpeg and audio variable bitrate. After conversion, there are some files that did not convert. I would like to compare two listings and discover which ones are missing. So, we have these commands: find . -type f -name \*.m4a | sed -e 's@.*/@@' -e 's/\.4a$//' > m4a.txt find raw2 -type f -name \*.mp3 | sed -e 's@.*/@@' -e 's/\.mp3$//' > mp3.txt Now I want to run comm and have it dump to another file which lines in m4a.txt do not exist in mp3.txt. How would I go about doing that? Or is there a better way? _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
