md5diff 1.4

A script to compare and diff two md5 files.

Script feature :

* can load all kind (I hope ;-) of md5 files

* the files inside the input md5 lists 'll be diff'ed and flagged as : ** '==' : equal (md5 =, path =, filename =) ** '<>' : different (md5 <>, path =, filename =) ** '<<' or '>>' : new (md5 n/a, path <>, filename <>) ** '<m' or 'm>' : moved (md5 =, path <>, filename =) ** '<r' or 'r>' : renamed (md5 =, path =, filename <>)

* to the stdout 'll be printed : ** the two input md5 files, added of the diff'ing flag; the only difference from a standard md5 is the diff'ing flag, printed between the md5 and the path/filename (chars 33,34) ** some stats of the diff'ing

***

Some background :

I needed this script to compare md5 created with different programs, to catch files renaming and moving and... because programming in python is fun !!!
