Comparing two text file content without using Store - File object

These two files may look the same,

But they are totally different. The first file contains a tab (->) character followed by carriage return (CR) and linefeed (LF). The second file just contains a space (.). ASCII characters are made visible by using Notepad++.

Byte-by-byte will compare the first character in the file, then the second, third, fourth and so on. If you've opened the file using Windows Notepad, the contents may look the same, but there's probably hidden characters which Notepad will not show. 

You do not need to store files within TestComplete to compare them, as long as your local file paths do not change you should be able to use their direct paths like so:

if (!Files.Compare("C:\\Work\\OrdersList_Var1.txt", "C:\\Work\\OrdersList.txt"))
    Log.Warning("List of orders was changed");

 official TestComplete reference [here].

Found aqFile that seems to be working, but it's showing that the files are different even though the contents are same. I think it's strickly looking for the same attributes not just content/data in the files.

Is there a possibility to only make aqFile check for similar data in files not any other attribute?

Thank you

What if I write my own logic and don't use Compare methods. 

I tried a below code but the loop seems to be running more than the indexes/lines I have in the first file and the values at index shows single character.

function CompareFiles() {
var firstFile = "abc.txt";
var secFile = "aac.txt";
for(let i =0; i<firstFile.length;i++) {
if(firstFile[i] !== secFile[i])
return true;
else {
return false;
}
}

}

The aqFile.Compare method, compares two files byte-by-byte. 

Can you add those two files that fail to compare?
