    Using aqTextFile, you could write your own script function to do a line by line comparison.  If they are CSV files or some other delimited data output, you could use the DDT.CSVDriver object to iterate field by field on each line to see if there is a difference.

Hello,

 

first of all thanks for you reply.

It is just a file checkpoint created with the wizard.

  Files.vorher1.Check("P:\\nacher.txt");
}

The files are encoded with UTF-8 because they contain umlauts. Could that be the problem?
