If you use the Script Editor to record BBEdit's Find Differences -> Compare
Two Front Windows command you'll find the recording is something like:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
compare text document id 717 against text document id 716 options {ignore
blank lines:true, ignore RCS keywords:true, ignore leading spaces:true,
ignore trailing spaces:true, ignore extra spaces:true}
end tell
Where the text document id's are those associated with window index 1 and
window index 2 in the windows class. In my example, one of the comparison
windows was for an untitled, never saved text window with no file property.
So, you don't strictly need an on disk file parameter for BBEdit's
AppleScript compare command parameters.
