It's been a while since I've done a Friday Challenge. Frankly I just haven't felt very creative. I think everyone goes through cycles of creativity and - um - the opposite of creativity (see, my vocabulary is suffering!) A reader, Kris (very Christmasy!) sent in the following idea, and I think it's pretty good.

As a reminder - you should spend less than 10 minutes working on this. Don't go crazy unless you have a real understanding boss. Your challenge today is to write a UDF or Custom Tag that takes 2 directories as parameters. The tag will return a list of:

  • What files exist in folder A, but not B
  • What files exist in folder B, but not A
  • What files exist in both, but APPEAR different (size, date)

If you want to go crazy and make it recursive, that is fine, but again, there is no need, this is just for fun. (Although honestly, this could be quite useful!)
