[himanshu]

--I have a list of files have extension *.txt, I m getting list by shell script, and I have hard coded file list in string array...I am comparing both and want files are not there getting in shell script..the script logic is correct..but getting hanged..I try to show o/p as not contain files
-- I will modify same script to get only file name and trim path...I do not want to hard code path in string array and also in shell script
set fileList to {}
set qtypefile to quoted form of ".txt"
set returnFiles to paragraphs of (do shell script "mdfind -onlyin / " & qtypefile)
--return choose from list returnFiles
set myNewList to ""
set myNotList to {"path1/1.txt",path1/2.txt",path1/3.txt" }
tell application "Finder"
repeat with i in myNotList
repeat until i contains returnFiles
if i is not in returnFiles then
return choose from list returnFiles
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell

Himanshu, please understand that shell scripts and AppleScripts are rarely cross-compatible. That is, output from one can disagree with the other - so it's better that you work files with one or the other. How about you tell us why, not what, is the goal of this?

If you have no reason to do this, why are you doing this?

So he does, for a good reason. He's asking you why so that we can possibly suggest a better method.
