there is probably a simpler way to do this but I ran ls on the /media/user directory with no usb storage plugged in and saved the output to a file and I wanted to use diff to compare the file with a new usb plugged in and compare the file with the /media/user directory so that it detects the new directory in /media from the usb
I've used so far
ls > usbmedia.diff
diff /home/user/desktop/scripts/usbmedia.diff /media/user/
the output I get is no /media/user/usbmedia.diff
file so it is looking for a file of the same name but how do I get the diff command to not do that and compare the directory with the file
