Compare Files

To test whether "C:\Users\mike\myfile.txt" and "F:\myfolder\myfile.txt" are the same...

return (Get-Filehash "C:\Users\mike\myfile.txt") -eq (Get-Filehash "F:\myfolder\myfile.txt")

You can also test for inequality...

return (Get-Filehash "C:\Users\mike\myfile.txt") -ne (Get-Filehash "F:\myfolder\myfile.txt")

To just see the hash value of a file, without comparing it, use:

Get-Filehash "C:\Users\mike\myfile.txt")

To see differences in file content you could use something like this...

Compare-Object (Get-Content "C:\Users\mike\myfile.txt") (Get-Content "F:\myfolder\myfile.txt")
