I regularly agree to a certain Terms of Use. The first time I did it, I was in a hurry and didn't do my normal review of it. What I did instead was to click-n-drag to highlight the whole thing, opened an editor, middle-clicked (to paste), and saved it (calling it eula).

Each day, I'm required to agree to the same Terms of Use. At least I want to make sure that it is the same. So what I do each time is highlight the entire text of it, open the editor, paste it, and save it as fula. I wrote a simple bash script to compare the two files, and another simple bash script to delete fula (so that the next time I tell the editor to save as fula, it doesn't ask me "Are you nutz? Are you *sure* you want to over write the one you already have?").

Here's my question: Is there a way that I can (after I highlight the entire text of the Terms of Use, as currently displayed) compare the contents of the clipboard (or whatever the appropriate name) directly to the file "eula"?
