CMD DOS How to compare two files in command line and suppress prompt

This example uses DOS “COMP” to make a comparison of two text files and return:

1.       Matches = Files compare OK

2.       Difference(s) found = Files are different sizes.

This example pipes in an “N” for no to the prompt

C:\TestComp>echo N | comp File1.txt File2.txt Comparing File1.txt and File2.txt... Files compare OK Compare more files (Y/N) ? C:\TestComp>echo N | comp File1.txt File2.txt Comparing File1.txt and File2.txt... Files are different sizes. Compare more files (Y/N) ? C:\TestComp>
