Hello,

In linux you will have the diff command:

In Windows, open a command window and type
help fc

What are your constraints? Operating system? Do you just want to know if they're the same? Or do you want to look at the differences.

 

Similar to JohnInTx, open in Word (or WordPerfect, etc. ) and do a document compare. All differences get highlighted. I have used that for source code too.

I need to compare and know whether they are same or not . I did in ST Link utility software. I am not so sure that is the legitimate way

Use the programs already mentioned - diff on Linux or fc on Windows.

For comparing differences in text files, I've found a program called CompareIt to be better than the difference utilities on Linux. Unfortunately, it only runs on Windows and isn't free. It was so useful for work I did that I paid to have a copy on my work laptop. The source data was coming from Unix, so I had to copy files to my laptop.

 

BeyondCompare is tough to beat if you do this kind of thing often.

Edit: Hexedit

 

If they are not identical, convert both to binary. Then compare the binary files with fc command with the /b option.

 

Used it for years (Windows). You can edit, compare and more.
