Search files from one directory to another directory

Hi Community, 

I have two directories. Both directories have 10 files, also they are text files and name of those files contains some numbers and alphabets. Example: "123456_23F.txt". First directory contains 10 text files with same naming pattern, just the numbers before that underscore are different. Second directory contains 10 text files with same naming pattern. I need to search if 1st directory contains one file that file with same name is present in the 2nd directory or not. And I need to check this for every files of first directory.

@Indradip22 Connect your two folders path in the two directory tool and join with the file name

Thanks, @binuacs for reply. After that I need to pick up two files with same name and compare them. I need to do this comparing for all files.
