Can I compare the contents of two folders using TextPad? Each folder contains other folders which contain files. I've got some backup software and want to check everything has been copied. Thanks.

As far as i know textpad does not have such functionality, but there are other very good programs that can compare folder, files etc and they are not very expensive. Might even be some freeware available.
You could add the dos command fc as a tool in textpad and then get the output in textpad, but i guess running fc from dos will do the same thing.

If you just need to compare some folder once i would recommend to just use fc from a dos window. If you do this a lot there are much better programs available.

I wouldn't use TextPad for this. Try DiffMerge instead.
