Re: looking for program/script to diff directories and show dates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was just expirementing with the diff command and was wondering if
there was anything out there that does the same thing but with a more
intuitive interface?

The problem I want to avoid is a basic one. "Which file did I update
last week that I forgot to publish to the live site?"

It would be really cool if there was something built on ncurses and not
just command line driven.


Alternatively, if there aren't any scripts out there I'd like to hear
how the list members handle this.

What about just checking the modified times of the two files with filemtime()? You could have it grab the timestamp of both files, compare them, and see if it's outside a set parameter (like 24 hours, 7 days, etc).

Can't you run into problems where depending on how they get copied from server to server the modified time gets adjusted? Seems I've run into that in Windows when FTP'ing. It doesn't preserver that info and treats all the files as brand spanking new...
