I am not sure I understand your requirement completely, but is this what you are looking for ?

Code:
$ 
$ cat f1
100
$ cat f2
90
$ if [ $(cat f1) == $(cat f2) ]; then echo "Count matched"; else echo "Count didn't match"; fi
Count didn't match
$ cat>f2
100
^C
$ cat f1
100
$ cat f2
100
$ if [ $(cat f1) == $(cat f2) ]; then echo "Count matched"; else echo "Count didn't match"; fi
Count matched
$ 
$
