Looking for a Windows 7 program that will take two txt files with a list of word

Question

Looking for a Windows 7 program that will take two txt files with a list of words line separated, one on each, and compare them to show at choice, those in both, those only in one, or those only in the other.

Cannot find a way to do this with diffmerge or a menu option for this in excel.

Before you jump on it, I know this kind of task can be done with programming skills, or regex, or some code in excel. I'm looking for a program that has easy straightforward way to do it with a button. Preferably Free, but if there if best alternative is not free tell me about it to know. However I would appreciate free alternatives.

Looking for it I only find those other more complicated ways to get something like this.

Explanation / Answer

Would something like this be helpful? It doesn't really organize it by whether or not they match, but it's displayed pretty clearly. You could compare your two files, and it would highlight anything that's different in each, so you would be able to know what appears in only one file. If it isn't highlighted, it's in both.

It might have additional features to help with what you're trying to do, but I haven't used it for such.
