have a look here (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/178321/diff-two-directories-but-ignore-the-extensions)

for example :
folder /home/your_username/1 contains rom-files
folder /home/your_username/2 contains image-files

this shows all rom-files from folder 1, that doesn't have an existing (or not correct named) image-file in folder 2

Code: [Select]

comm -23 <(find /home/your_username/1 -type f -exec bash -c 'basename "${0%.*}"' {} \; | sort) <(find /home/your_username/2 -type f -exec bash -c 'basename "${0%.*}"' {} \; | sort)

with this information, you can search for the explicit image-file

>Windows

Code: [Select]

@echo off &setlocal
set romfolder=C:\1
set imagefolder=C:\2
for %%a in ("%romfolder%\*.*") do if not exist "%imagefolder%\%%~na.*" echo %%~na%%~xa no image found
pause

I can modify my mamesoftwareparser ruby script to include this feature. I have an idea to rework the script and make it more useful for others.

comm -23 <(find /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro -type f -exec bash -c 'basename "${0%.*}"' {} \; | sort) <(find /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/snap -type f -exec bash -c 'basename "${0%.*}"' {} \; | sort)

So I run that it seems to return every value and rom set. Any ideas? Thanks!!!!
