I'm learning how to use Linux with the OpenSuse IDE version 13.1.
I would like to know if it is possible to merge the commands rm -r with diff - r ?
Remove files 1.txt , 2.txt , 2.txt from path1 , since it does not have path2 .
You can directly use the command rsync , example:
To use path2 as the "template":
rsync -r --delete path2/ path1
Important : The / toolbar is important for copying directory content and the directory itself.
:)
I believe you can use the xargs command. Take a look at the manual for details.
It would be something like (not exactly):
diff -r path1 path2 | xargs rm
The output of diff has a few more words than the file names ( Only in path1: , for example), so you may need to handle a regular expression. >
