I was planning to, eventually, write a script that filters out blank lines from both files passed as arguments and then passes the filtered data along to diff. If we use any other nonportable options, then it may be possible to handle them the same way. Alternately, Perl has an extension library Text::Diff that we could use to implement a diff-like tool that does what we want. It's not included with Perl, so we'd have to include it in the PSPP tree. I don't know whether the license is acceptable or whether Text::Diff requires some particularly new version of Perl. -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
