Scripting

Are you wanting the differences of both files to be listed or do you only want the difference from one file list using the other file as a master list? I may have a script that will work for this purpose. I'm not much of a programmer but I know my VB Scripting language fairly well.

Copy the below code into a test file and rename it's extension to .vbs

This script will compare two text files to one another and output the differences into a third text file. You'll want to change the paths of the files and the file names. (i.e C:\file1.txt)

Const ForWriting = 2
Const ForReading=1

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Source file #1. Change the path and file name.
Set objFile1 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\file1.txt", ForReading)
'Reads the entire contents of File1 into a string variable.
sContents1=objFile1.ReadAll
objFile1.Close

'Source file #2. Change the path and file name.
Set objFile2 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\file2.txt", ForReading)
'Reads the entire contents of File2 into a string variable.
sContents2=objFile2.ReadAll
objFile2.Close

'Output file, contains the list of differences between Source file #1 and Source file #2. Change the path and file name.
'Warning! This will overwrite File3 everytime the script is run. If the output file (File3) isn't found, then it will be created.
If objFSO.FileExists("C:\file3.txt") Then
Set objFile3 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\file3.txt", ForWriting)
Else
Set objFile3 = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\file3.txt")
End If

Set objFile1 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\file1.txt", ForReading)
'Reads each line of File1 and searches for a match in the variable containing the contents of File2
Do Until objFile1.AtEndOfStream
strComputer = objFile1.ReadLine
'If the line from File1 can't be found in File2, then it will right the line to File3
If InStr(sContents2, strComputer) = 0 then
objFile3.WriteLine (strComputer)
End If
'Clears the variable
strComputer = ""
Loop
objFile1.Close

Set objFile2 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\file2.txt", ForReading)
'Reads each line of File2 and searches for a match in the variable containing the contents of File1
Do Until objFile2.AtEndOfStream
strComputer = objFile2.ReadLine
'If the line from File2 can't be found in File1, then it will right the line to File3
If InStr(sContents1, strComputer) = 0 then
objFile3.WriteLine (strComputer)
End If
'Clears the variable

Loop

'Closes the open files
objFile2.Close
objFile3.Close
