Script/program language to use for opening a collection of text files and checking content
<p>Could anybody recommend a programming language which would be best to use for opening up a list of text files (config files) in one folder and then comparing the content of the file with another file in a different location? I would want to do a line by line compare. Could you do this kind of thing with Powershell or using a Batch file?</p>

<p>Please dont recommend comparison software such as WinMerge or BeyondCompare as I want to automate this process i.e. not manually open up two files and compare them.</p>

<p>Thanks for any advice you can give me :-).</p>
