Apr 15, 2014 at 18:08 comment added mikeserv @AlexandreCassagne - you can switch accepted answers. Sorry Graeme - but i dont think i can earn any more regular points today...
Apr 15, 2014 at 18:06 comment added Alexandre Cassagne The second method (update) works very well. I like it because I can actually understand it intuitively... haha thanks :)
Apr 13, 2014 at 16:23 comment added Alexandre Cassagne Will try it tonight juste out of raw curiosity! Will comment back asap. Thanks !

Apr 11, 2014 at 23:29 comment added mikeserv @AlexandreCassagne actually, this update is worth your while to try. It will work faster than comm. It's simpler to understand as well. The only thing you might have to do is use sed instead of cat oh, I'll just show it.

Apr 11, 2014 at 22:51 comment added mikeserv @AlexandreCassagne if the process substitution in Graeme's answer works you could try: sed -f <(find /./path/from/root | sed 's:/./path/from/root/to/base/dir(.*):\\|\1|d:') ./path/to/list but you already have a working solution, so it might not be worth the effort.
Apr 11, 2014 at 22:43 comment added mikeserv @AlexandreCassagne I think its because of /dev/stdin - either that or you're right and the problem is -f - which breaks the streamed model - or s:. You can - and probably should - get gnu tools for the mac - in my opinion.
Apr 11, 2014 at 22:40 comment added Alexandre Cassagne I upvoted because this seems like a good way to tackle this, but the code doesn't run atm; after searching a bit why it seems to say the Mac OS X (which I'm trying to run this on) doesn't have the same sed as the GNU standard. But thanks :)

Apr 11, 2014 at 20:15 comment added mikeserv @AlexandreCassagne I put another solution up, and I'd be curious just to know if it worked.

Apr 11, 2014 at 19:51 comment added Alexandre Cassagne Thanks, but I already launched the mirror. Besides – the recursive download is useful, in case the dump wasn't updated or something ! :)
