Comment #3 on issue 363 by [email protected]: Keywords or new library to provide diff functionality
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=363

Hi all,

I was using difflib in my keyword libraries to provide a Diff Files keyword. The problem that we hit is described in this issue; http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=497 Also to diff two files you need to read both of them into lists first. Not ideal if you want to diff large files.

The solution that I came up with was using the diff command that comes bundled with the OS (*nixes anyway) and for Windows I used the GNU win diff.exe.

I might be able to provide my solution as a library.
