Author Topic: File comparison editor wanted (Read 8219 times)

I'm looking for an editor which can show two files side by side and highlight the differences between them.

Anyone know of anything like this?

I use NEPMD for editing and KDiff3 for file comparison. KDiff3 is by far the best app for that, IMO.

Beside kdiff3 DIffzilla included in VisualSlickEdit and SmartSync (Java) do a pretty good job on comparing files or directories.

Download: http://trac.netlabs.org/qtapps/wiki/QT4%20Development
Installation: http://www.ecsoft2.org/kdiff3 and the included readme.
Documentation: http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html

Note that I didn't have to install anything mentioned on ecsoft2.org. (The packages were already installed for other apps.) Even cups.dll is not required to start and use that app.
