Is there any way to do a “Find Differences” that disregards certain predictable 
and uninteresting differences?

My specific example is a folder comparison of two folders that contain “the 
same” HTML files, but that are at different depths in the web site folder 
hierarchy. Thus, all intra-site links in the files will contain additional 
“../”s in the deeper folder. For example, in the shallower directory:

        <link rel="Stylesheet" href="../zba-5.9.css" type="text/css">
        <script src="../collapsible_menu.js"></script>

And in the deeper directory:

        <link rel="Stylesheet" href="../../zba-5.9.css" type="text/css">
        <script src="../../collapsible_menu.js"></script>

If I there were a Find Difference option, “disregard all occurrences of a 
specified grep pattern when comparing the files”, then I could just ignore all 
occurrences of “../” in href elements.

Thanks,
Neil Faiman
