windows comp command in batch script: remove prompts

Every time I use the Windows comp command, a message containing:

Compare more files (Y/N) ?

is shown. Can I avoid it by typing N by default?

thanks

Solution

  • You could also consider using another, also built-in, command, FC. It can perform binary comparison (you need to specify the /B switch: FC /B file1 file2), which seems closer to what COMP does, although the results are still displayed in a different format.

    Anyway, it doesn't prompt you for more files to compare, it just does the job and terminates.
