Compare files

[SP]

Hi All,

I need to compare two files line by line and copy the differing lines to a
new files. I.e. Compare file1 and file2 line by line. Copy only differing
lines to file3.

I tried a couple of ways with filestreams. But did not achieve it correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

What ways have you tried?

You can wrap a FileStream with a StreamReader and read one line at a time,
then compare them.

I was trying by converting it into bytes. Now I am able to compare with out
a problem.

Thanks,
