One more improvement would be to permanently dedicate two files for this use. Locate them in some safe place - not temp files - named so you’ll remember not to accidentally delete later, e.g., “CompareDoc1” & “CompareDoc2”. Then hard-code them with paths in your script. Eliminates all the steps related to creating files. The script can overwrite the previous comparison’s text fragments each time it’s called, or maybe just close the files without saving, leaving the files on disk always blank.
