Sets the number of lines for the internal line buffer to N. The default length of the line buffer is 100 lines. If the files that you are comparing have more than 100 consecutive differing lines, fc cancels the comparison. Displays the line numbers during an ASCII comparison. Doesn't skip files that have the offline attribute set.
How does FC compare ASCII files?If you use a wildcard in filename2, fc uses the corresponding value from filename1. When comparing ASCII files, fc uses an internal buffer (large enough to hold 100 lines) as storage. If the files are larger than the buffer, fc compares what it can load into the buffer.
What does FC do when using /W?When used with /w, fc ignores white space at the beginning and end of a line. Specifies the number of consecutive lines that must match following a mismatch, before fc considers the files to be resynchronized. If the number of matching lines in the files is less than nnnn, fc displays the matching lines as differences. The default value is 2.

You can use this command within PowerShell, but be sure to spell out the full executable (fc.exe) since 'fc' is also an alias for Format-Custom. When you use fc for an ASCII comparison, fc displays the differences between two files in the following order:
