comp: Compare files case-insensitively.
$ comp /c ${path\to\file1} ${path\to\file2}
try on your machine

The command "comp /c ${path\to\file1} ${path\to\file2}" is used to compare the contents of two files and display the differences between them. Here's a breakdown of the different components:

  • "comp": This is the command used to perform the file comparison.
  • "/c": This is an optional parameter that specifies that the comparison should be case-sensitive. If this parameter is not provided, the comparison will be case-insensitive.
  • "${path\to\file1}": This is the path to the first file that you want to compare. You need to replace "${path\to\file1}" with the actual file path.
  • "${path\to\file2}": This is the path to the second file that you want to compare. You need to replace "${path\to\file2}" with the actual file path.

When you run this command, it will compare the contents of file1 and file2 and display the differences between the two files.
