Hi,
I have an application that audits changes to text fields.
A database table currently stores the various meta data info about
these user changes. (date, user, before and after strings etc, reason
etc etc). It works great, but to add to my apps 'wow' factor I am
want to implement a simple summarised difference for text in an
editfield before and after modification.
I know that Auditors and users will appreciate a simple interface
that highlights modifications for the current string against previous
versions.
Does anybody have ideas (or even favorite examples) of ways other
applications have visually displayed/summarised the difference
between (potentially very) long strings of text?
Ultimately it needs to be very easily digested by non-computer folks
so a cryptic unix-style 'diff' style output may not be well received.
Do you have an example of a favorite diff application that I could
mimic in REALbasic?
