Hi,

@Muzna_Tariq,

Yes, you can use Aspose.Words for .NET API to programmatically compare Text files (as well as many other supported file formats). Please refer to the following section of documentation:

The link does not contain code snippet for text documents. Please provide code snippet for comparing two text files

@Muzna_Tariq,

Please try the following C# code of Aspose.Words for .NET:

Document docA = new Document("C:\\temp\\A.txt");
Document docB = new Document("C:\\temp\\B.txt");
// DocA now contains changes as revisions. 
docA.Compare(docB, "user", DateTime.Now);
// Save to DOCX format
docA.Save("C:\\temp\\21.5.docx");

I tried above code with the attached two text files but it takes around 10 minutes to compare which is not acceptable. Please checktimeout.zip (198.4 KB)
