compare contents of 2 files -

Hi,

In order to help me with versioning control from a text file that I receive off the web, I was wondering if there was a way to compare the contents of say a text file named categories.txt and categoriesnew.txt.

I thought about just comparing the size of the 2 files and if there was a difference, I would assume that there has been some updates.. But then I realized that the file size may be identical if the same amount of text was put in as was taken out..

Anyway to compare the contents of these 2 files to return False if the same or True if different? I'm using VB6 Pro..

Any help would be appreciated..

Dan
