All, I have two text files that should contain a section of text that is the same. Luckily the section of text has a defined beginning and end. It looks like the most straightforward thing would be to read the targeted text from each file (only 50 lines or so) into lists and then compare the lists. I would think I could use sets to find a unique list (hopefully there would not be anything)...or I could do line by line comparison. Any advise on what is the better method. Should I avoid the list comparison approach...is there a built in way of comparing entire files instead of dealing explicitly with the lines?
