Search files with same name and different content

[Peter]

For example, I have three files with same name

Code: Select all

Path and                                   content

x:\1\x.txt                                 hello
x:\2\x.txt                                 hello
x:\3\x.txt                                 abcde

If I search for duplicates with ...
same name, then I get 1,2,3
same name and size 1,2,3
same name and size and content 1,2

But how to search for...
same name and size different content?

This could be
a) the inverse "search result" (1,2 is found -> 3 is the inverse result) or
b) groups of non-identic-pairs: 1,3 and 2,3

Any ideas how to get it?

Best regards

Peter

What do you whant to get for

Code: Select all

Path and                                   content

w:\3\x.txt                                 abcde
x:\1\x.txt                                 hello
x:\2\x.txt                                 hello
x:\3\x.txt                                 abcde

Hmmh - good question. I supposed this takes the tricky way

There could be some ways:

a) again "inverse":
- 1,2 and 3,4 are the same
-> the inverse of 1 is 3,4
-> the inverse of 2 is 3,4
-> the inverse of 3 is 1,2
....

Of course with many files the result will be unusable, so the results can be grouped: 1,2 is "resulting group A", 3,4 is resulting group B
But this could take the wrong way ...

b) Comparing results:
Search same name and size -> result A
Search same name and size and content -> result B
The difference "A - B" is a result. Maybe not "the one and only" result ...

c) Define the source file (name, size, content / CRC) and search files with same name and size and different CRC.

But it will be tricky ...
