Comparing Two Text Files

I have two text files and want to check if they have the same words and punctuation. However, one file contains a lot of line breaks and the other doesn't.
Is there a way to compare the text in these files and ignore the line breaks?

No, files are compared line by line.

Oh well - thanks for letting me know. Any plans to add such a feature in future versions?

Can you please add a printIn on both lines. Just to make sure that they are actually the same. And add
basics and else statements to display something like "no match found".

I'm afraid your request is somewhat unclear to me.
