I'm not sure if this is a language question, or a concept question, but I feel it's kind of both. [b]What do you think would be the best way to compare 2 separate files in c++[b], would md5'ing both of them and then comparing the md5 sums be best? what about if there were 100 files that had to be compared would that be an acceptable way to do it? Is there another easy way to compare files? these wouldn't necessarily be text files, so I can't think of a good way do do it. Thanks in advance.
