Exclamation Comparing Two Binary Folders

I am a beginner to all of this but undertand the basic principles. I am currently working on a large task and struggling with a the final part.

I have two files,

folder 1 contains a list of around 20 files in binary (possibly treated as arrays?)

folder 2 contains several files and sub folders each entry also in binary

all i want to do is basically take each entry of folder 1 and see if there are any matching results in file 2, if there is any matches they should then be moved to a text folder 3

any solutions?
