File comparison methods have been widely used by popular applications for file searching and checking plagiarized contents. This study aims to match two text files and get their average rate of accuracy. A file comparison prototype has been developed to perform the match, and its accuracy was determined with regards to the number of files and their sizes. The prototype’s acceptability will be determined with regards to usability, performance, and design. The arithmetic mean will be used to determine the accuracy of the matching text file, and the prototype will display the matched and unmatched results. The results show that the acceptability level for matching two text files is accurate, and the design of the GUI is easy to learn and use.
