Here's a doozy for you. I'm trying to compare a directory called MP3/ with
a huge file called MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar -- the idea being to make sure
the contents are similar (I've touched new files in the MP3/ directory
since untarring, so they won't be exactly the same...)
I tried some commands along the lines of these:
# du -hs MP3/
1.6G MP3/
# du -hs MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar
1.2G MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar
Erg, wait this proves nothing; I'd have to untar and THEN du -hs :(
Then I thought I'd get crafty and `tar tvf MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar >
the-tarfile.out` thinking I could later run things through `sort` but I am
hung up on how to get similar output that shows the contents of MP3/.
# find MP3/ -type f | wc -l
OR?
# find MP3/ -type f -exec ls -al {}\; | more
OR?
# find MP3/ -type f -print | xargs or something like that | sort...
Could one of you /\/\aster$ work some unixiacal magic on my task? =^)
It soothes my soul to know you care.
