Comparing text files for equality

Question

I just want to know if one text file equal to another. Of course I can load files to NSString and compare them, but is there a better way?

Have a look at the NSFileManager documentation. There is a method which will complete your task I think:

NSFileManager *filemgr;
filemgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

if ([filemgr contentsEqualAtPath: @"/path/to/file1.txt" andPath: @"/path/to/file2.txt"] == YES) {
    //MATCH
}
