Hello, I haven't used powershell a lot, so I am new to this and I would like to know how can I compare two (2) text files using powershell and get the difference between two files?
Thanks

You can simply use compare-object command
compare-object (get-content one.txt) (get-content two.txt)or you can use it's alias
diff (cat file1) (cat file2)Diff and cat are just aliases for Compare-Object and Get-Content in PowerShell.
OR
If you don't want to use Powershell, as sometime it doesn't show long lines differences easily, you can use WinMerge which is good tool to check difference between two files.
