Emacs's (or Xemacs's) "ediff" does something similar to this (among all the other useful things it does): after doing a regular "diff" it further looks for and highlights the actuall differences in that block. It's very nice and very useful. Another very useful feature of ediff, if I already mentioned it, is a very convenient method for merging differences between two files. For the (X)Emacs illiterates, to use ediff all you need to is to open XEmacs and use the menubar's Tool -> Compare -> Two Files (the menus in Emacs might be different, I didn't check). It's also possible to compare two preloaded files with Tool -> Compare -> Two Buffers. There are many other possibilities, which you'll have to discover on your own (or read the docs). -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Apr 8 2002, 26 Nisan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Unlike Microsoft, a restaurant will give http://nadav.harel.org.il |me food for free if I find a bug in it! ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
