Compare files with MATLAB

Question

I would like to know how could I compare two files (line by line) (*.xml, .m,.txt,...etc) using MATLAB.

file1 = \'toto.xml\';
file2 = \'titi.xml\';
         


        

Answer 1

first change the text file to string, then use strcmp function of matlab.

text1 = fileread('test.txt');
text2 = fileread('testcp.txt');
strcmp(text1, text2)
