Three people kindly replied to my previous post with three different suggestions all of which work. Many thanks for those.
I am afraid that I shall have to drag this out a little longer as one of the files involved in the comparison is on a remote server and I haven't been able to find a way of logging on automatically.
I can use only Telnet or Fpt to gain access to the appropriate directory and I cannot find a way of sending my password via telnet which always supplies a 'Password:' prompt. Telnet allows me to provide my user name when I start it or via 'Open' but there appears to be no option for Passsword.
Can I automate this process from within a script?
