Isn't it possible to add a comment that might be add to the patched file and with the next step of your diff file, you'll remove this comment from the patched file?

I must be doing something wrong here. Consider this reduced problem. I tried
to write a script to list all the files matching a specific pattern.
Consider
$cat ~/bin/patlist
#! /bin/sh
# to list all the files matching a given pattern
# call as patlist
pattern="$1"
for file in $pattern; do
echo $file
done
$ls file*
file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
$patlist file*
file1.txt
That is for some reason patlist script lists only the first file the matches
the pattern and not all the files.

Ok, this works on the command line. But I am looking for something along the
lines of
bash_script_name dir1/pattern1 dir2/pattern2
where dir1/pattern1, dir2/pattern2 are given as arguments to the script. I
could not figure out how to do this inside a bash script. Any idea?

I hadn't realized the other files were also repeated in both
directories. I also had a couple of typos/bugs in the script I
suggested earlier. This allows you to filter on a pattern with
wildcards, and seems superficially to work:
--
#!/bin/bash
# usage: diff-check dir1 dir2 "pattern"
# pattern must be in double quotes to avoid shell expasion
myday=`date +%y%m%d-%H:%M`
outfile="diff-check-$myday"
for f in `ls $1/$3` ; do
fname=${f##*/}
if [ -f $2/$fname ] ; then
echo checking file $fname
echo $fname in $1, $2 >> $outfile
echo "" >> $outfile
diff $1/$fname $2/$fname >> $outfile
echo "" >> $outfile
nr=$((co ++))
fi
done
echo $co files compared.

Well, it's a starting point. Save it as ~/bin/diff-check where ~/bin is on your path, and chmod u+x.

There is a program called patch for automatically applying diff files to an original file (often referred to as .orig). you may find the following works: patch -p0 filename.diff For people have distributed diffs designed for patch as .patch files rather than .diff files, so it is possible your .diff file specifically does not work with patch, or is very old. Anyway, you should be able to get there eventually, just fiddle the arguments a little. Oh, you have to have the original (unmodified) file that you apply the patch to, the .diff only contains the differences to the original.
