Messy Filesytem : Duplicate File Removal from the command line
- by jrause
In debian/ubuntu
I want to
a) create a list of all the files in one directory tree
b) do the same for a second directory tree
c) compare the two lists such that, only the file NAMES are compared (i.e. just comparing the "file.txt" part so that "/home/folder/file.txt" == "/home/secondfolder/folder/file.txt)
d) output a list of all the duplicates
can anyone please explain how to do this using scripting languages or regex or something?
