Can someone recommend a file compare utility?
I did try to google but it is hard to trust any sites now a days that advertise free and are littered with google ads.

Here's a nice comparison of the various tools (including cost).

Depends on what type of file comparison you need, I've never needed anything past WinDiff (comes with Visual Studio, and the PSDK I think).

I'm using WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) and it works fine for me.

thanks for the links.

windiff is okay
or use the diff that comes with <insert major version control software> (Subversion, Perforce, VSS..etc) -

WOOH! WOOH!
Another vote for WinMerge

I'm personally a big user of WinDiff, but a lot of people here use Beyond Compare....

M:\>comp /?
Compares the contents of two files or sets of files.COMP [data1] [data2] [/D] [/A] [/L] [/N=number] [/C] [/OFF[LINE]]
data1 Specifies location and name(s) of first file(s) to compare.
data2 Specifies location and name(s) of second files to compare.
/D Displays differences in decimal format.
/A Displays differences in ASCII characters.
/L Displays line numbers for differences.
/N=number Compares only the first specified number of lines in each file.
/C Disregards case of ASCII letters when comparing files.
/OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.To compare sets of files, use wildcards in data1 and data2 parameters.

Just for comparing quick files I use (http://www.comparemyfiles.com)
It is nice since you don't need a computer with windiff on it.
Just my thoughts
