UltraEdit (mentioned previously) is a great tool, as is Beyond Compare. I generally use WinMerge (on windows) with great success. As I'm not a DW user, I cannot speak to its compatibility (or lack thereof).

Re: [WSG] File comparison tool for Dreamweaver CS3
I use beyond compare, but im not sure it works within dreamweaver. When I used dreamweaver I used to have Beyond compare open in another window and when I made changes in one and saved them the other programme noticed this and prompted me if I wanted to load the changes or not. Its a nice little programme which is quite feature rich.

RE: [WSG] File comparison tool for Dreamweaver CS3
Assuming you mean on Windows, I've used WinDiff in the past and was reasonably happy with it (though purely to get an at a glance comparison, not to actually do any further processing of compared files - it doesn't seem to like UTF-8, for a start...)

That's true. It does not work within Dreamweaver. I'm not sure if I've ever seen anything that does for sure.

I have used text editors for decades, but have not used DW much. All text editors I ever used had file comparison built in.(?) Currently I am using TextPad (ww.textpad.com) as my Windows based editor. Even better options are available on other platforms. TextPad can compare files. It also has good support for UTF-8, its only weakness due to the need to display the characters using the Windows encoding. More a limitation of Windows than the editor, I believe. Perhaps that will fill the bill? They let you try it out for almost as long as you want.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already...
