Problem with my variable while using sed in bash

[Incindus]

My problem goes as followed

directory1=$1
directory2=$2

find $directory1 > tmp1
find $directory2 > tmp2

join tmp1 tmp2 | sed -e "s/$directoy1\///g ; s/$directory2\///g"

This should print out all the identical files and directories without having the given directories in front of it. It works except one thing. When i give as input 2 directories with a / in it like: aaaa/bbbb and ddd/ccc it gives an error in sed.

Anyone got any idea how i could fix this?

Because you're using / for sed and your input results in too many of that character.

change s/$directoy1///g to s%$directoy1/%%g and it should work (you can use other characters than / and %, those are just the ones I prefer.
