Looking for a file comparison tool...

I'm looking for a file comparison tool / app.  By the image below, I want to clarify two folders (folder A and folder X) and then have the app compare all files in both folders and their respective subfolders.  What is important, I want the tool to ignore the names of file in the comparison.  In the following example 03 file exists in the two top-level folders, so should not be reported as a difference, even if it resides in subfolders named differently.  A tool that will do anyone know?  THX

The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run:

Tell application "Finder".

Set to name of every file in the folder files_1 "path: to: A notebook."

Set to files_2 name of every file in the folder ' path: to: X folder.

the_string value "files only in the first folder:" & return "»

Repeat with this_file points of files_1

If files_2 does not contain this_file then the value the_string the_string & this_file & return

end repeat

the the_string the_string value & return & "files only in the second folder:" & return "»

Repeat with this_file points of files_2

If files_1 does not contain this_file then the value the_string the_string & this_file & return

end repeat

    You're right, it's too long to post here. I tried to send mine here. No go.

    I only suggest:

    1. use Windows Live Skydrive to transfer the cbs log. Then send us a link in the newspaper.
    But apparently you don't have SkyDrive.

    SkyDrive is free and is part of the Windows Live products. Consider installing it.

    Hello

    ·         Is that what the problem is with a specific file extension?

    ·         How long have you been faced with this problem?

    ·         You did it last changes before the show?

    Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

    Method 1:

    If you have problems of location of the files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the search and indexing of troubleshooting to solve the problem. It ensures that the Windows Search service is running and checks if you have the correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.

    See the article below for additional information and steps.

    Open the troubleshooter for search and indexing

  • looking for a file in the disk

    Hello and greeting to your friend,

    I'm looking for a command or a small program that displayed the files by their names in directories and returns a Boolean value, true if the file exists and, if mistakes.

    Thank you

    You can use the recursive file list feature to create an array of file names. Then do a string search in this table:

    Your regalar expression would be "^ foo". Refer to "Match Regular Expression" primitive for more information on regular expressions. Also you can watch here in the forums since it is a regularly discussed topic and, unfortunately, not too easy at first...

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

  • I'm looking for a file that was left after an uninstall

    I recently downloaded a program with a crack file, figure I would try to get something for nothing. A message came on a serial number fake identity card, and the program stops. So I uninstalled the program and downloaded the legitimate program, this time at the sight of corporate web.      I implemented the legitimate program and the same message came again, on a fake serial ID. I can only imagine the program left behind them a file that has kept a journal and the origin of the problem. I would like to know if someone could tell me what kind of file, and where there might be, so I can remove it. If it helps the program has been internet download manager. Thank you for your help.

    Each company has their unique way of dealing with software piracy.  It is unclear what this company has implemented.  Since you have a legitimate copy of the program, you should contact their support personnel and ask them to sit.
