Need help with unix script

[dianne001]

I am trying to write a unix script that will compare source directories. first I create three files using the ls -la for each source directory. then I want to sepearate the directory names to a file and the files to a file.

then I want to compare the directory files. and then compare the file files.

This is what I have so far. I do not know how to write a loop.

#!/bin/sh
#
#
###############################################################
echo "Starting Compare Process"
###############################################################
testsrc=/src/testsrc
devsrc=/src/devsrc
prodsrc=/src/prodsrc
tmpdir=/src/tmp
rm $tmpdir/testlist1.lst
rm $tmpdir/prodlist1.lst
rm $tmpdir/devlist1.lst
cd $testsrc
ls -la > $tmpdir/testlist1.lst
echo 'created testlist1'
cd $devsrc
ls -la > $tmpdir/devlist1.lst
echo 'created devlist1'
cd $prodsrc
ls -la > $tmpdir/prodlist1.lst
echo 'created prodlist1'


Please help!!!

dear friend
if you want to create directory list in same directory
then use the following command :
ls -lF |grep '/' > mfile

if you want to create directory list in sub directory
then use the following command :
ls -lFR |grep '/' > mfile

if you want to create file list in same directory
then use the following command :
ls -lF | grep -v '/' > mfile

Perhaps you don't have to write a loop, just use diff ....

diff devlist1.lst testlist1.lst
diff testlist1.lst prodlist1.lst

If you have it (and you can make sense of it's report), use diff3 ....

diff3 devlist1.lst testlist1.lst prodlist1.lst
