Print to standard output file paths different between SRC and DEST and replacing terms if needed

groovy -e "def output=args[0]; def terms = args[1].split(','); terms.each { it -> def keyValues = it.split(':'); output = output.replaceAll(keyValues[0],keyValues[1]); } println output;" "`diff -rq . SRC DEST`" "old1:new1,old2:new2"
Script has to be modified to be executable! SRC and DEST a relative unix path, olds and news are the terms to be modified. Very helpful to sync source folders present in different SCM. If you dont like this one, just use rsync...
Sample Output 
groovy -e "def txt=args[0]; def terms = args[1].split(','); terms.each { it -> def vals = it.split('-'); txt = txt.replaceAll(vals[0],vals[1]); } println txt;" "`diff -rq /Users/air/A /Users/air/B`" "Files:cp, and: , differ: "

-->

cp /Users/air/A/somefile /Users/air/B/somefile
cp /Users/air/A/someotherfile /Users/air/B/someotherfile
