Can TestStand compare two text files

[dusty_g]

Is there a way for teststand to compare two text files without Labview?  I'm doing some loop testring and I just want to check that FileA is the same as FileB and show the differences if they're not the same.

Hi,

you can use the .net step StepTye. and consuming TextReader class.
I assume you will need 10-12 Steps 2*(open,close,Size,Read) Compare and loop  to perform this task.

Another option is using the command line from WinMerge.
