hey, Suppose I had two files with the property such that I knew that:
- file b contained a superset of lines in file a - the lines in file a and file b that were the same were in order. - all files in line b that matched line a's were the same or different (no partial matches or replacements hence, file a: line2 line3 line4 and file b line0 line2 line3 line4 line5 Is there any way/flag that you can tell diff to optimize the above difference? As it stands, I'm getting spurious replacements in the diffs outputted. Is there a way to force diff to just show additions and deletions? Ed
