Status: offline 		Hi,

We use a couple of scripts that install several applications, copy's files, set registry settings, and so on... Now I'm working on a script that checks to see if the server installed ok. One of the parts that I would like to check is a comparison of a local directory and a network folder (that should have copied locally). I've been breaking my brain on several methods on doing this, but nothing good so far and was hoping to find some help here.

What I've come up with, so far is scanning the two folders (recursively), putting this information in two arrays and compare one with the other. This is just theoretical though, because uptil now I've only succeeded in recursively scanning the folder.

regards,

jeroen
