Well they are command output logs not really logs like what WUG has. Every time the program is run it should output exactly the same info, unless something has changed. For example... if I exported my WUG maps every day to xml and compared the current one to the last one I should see only what changed that day or week. If nothing changed on the maps then the export files would be the same. I've looked at winmerge in the past. It is a great product. However I would be looking at comparing hundreds of files at a time, so I'm looking for something that could save it's output to a file. Then I would only have to look at the files with data in them.

WinMerge http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/ for comparing logs (although it'll do what you're asking - I'm not sure you're asking the right question because all the logs will be different as the timestamps are different). 2. Sawmill - a fantastic log analyzer tool. It'll examine most any type of logs and give you reports - kind of like webalyzer. sawmill.net Again - since all the timestamps will be different between the logs you're comparing, I'm not sure this will be the best route.
