Need to do it programattically since I have about 600 sets of files to compare. Luckily, the files should be identical ... I am looking for the rare exceptions where they are not identical, and then the differences should be small, and I want to throw an error flag.
Thank you for the code sample.

What kind of differences? Insertions and deletions? Re-arrangements. For what it's worth, here is a link to some code I messed with a while back for comparing two strings and highlighting their differences. It is fairly good as long as you are dealing with MOSTLY similar strings with insertions and deletions no longer than a couple sentences. http://www.bradwood.com/string_compare/ ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Colman, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 5:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Character by Character File Compare Looking for functions/algorythm that would easily enable me to compare three files on a character-by-character basis to detect differences. Any suggestions appreciated.
