#!/usr/bin/perl =head1 SYNOPSIS hidiff old_file new_file =head1 DESCRIPTION Highlight the differences between two files using curses. The result of thinking, wouldn't it be nice to do "watch -d" on two files. =head1 NOTES This is not a diff-like utility, it doesn't yet doi Longest Common Sub +string cleverness so an insertion or deletion will throw the rest of the line +. If I can figure out a way (or ways) to represent a diff in curses highlights and colours then I might implement it. Ideas welcome. hidiff currently isn't rigorous about representing all differences, tabs, line-endings and non-ascii may cause problems. =head1 AUTHOR Brad Bowman, hidiff at bereft net =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2007 Brad Bowman.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
