try on your machine
The command "fc /u ${path\to\file1} ${path\to\file2}" is used to compare the contents of two files, file1 and file2, and display the differences between them. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "fc": It is the command used to compare files in Windows.
- "/u": The "/u" option is used to perform a Unicode comparison, which means the command will compare the files character by character, considering Unicode characters.
- "${path\to\file1}": This is the placeholder for the file path of file1. You need to replace "${path\to\file1}" with the actual file path of file1 in your system.
- "${path\to\file2}": This is the placeholder for the file path of file2. Similarly, you need to replace "${path\to\file2}" with the actual file path of file2 in your system.
By executing this command with the correct file paths, you will get a detailed comparison of the two files, showing which lines or characters are different between them.
