Hammer & Screwdriver Comparing files and capture return code

Hi,

I would like to compare 2 files, and have a return code write to a file.
regardless of the files contents are the same the code should be writing to a file (if both files contents are same then return code 0).
A simple example will be great Smilie

Thanks
