Hi,
Somehow I got lost in space (" ").... :)
Currently I am building up a new Linux system (Gentoo) on one
harddisk while my old system is still alive on the other harddisk.
Both disks are identical (same model) and are partitioned identical.
I want to compare parts of the contents of directory trees on both
harddisk.
Unfortunately they consists partly of downloaded webpages. The
resulting filenames are [CENSORED] and [CENSORED] or in other words:
They contain every kind of "illegal" characters one could think of.
To do the comparison I want to md5sum each file and compare the lists
of files afterwards.
My first idea was seomthing like (being in the root of the directory
tree in question):
find . -type f | zargs md5sum | sort -w 32 > filelist.txt
but this one gets confused as soon as find finds an
"Illegal filename .txt".
How can I build up a similiar command which "eats" any kind of
filename and md5sums (not skip) those files without calling md5sum
for each file seperately ?
Is there any neat zshy trick ? ;)
Keep hacking and thank you very much in advance for any helpful reply ! :O)
Have a nice day!
