diff

I have two XML files (XSD) which are generated by some tool. The tool doesn't preserve the order of elements so although the content is equal comparing it as text will result as the files are different. Is there some tool that can sort the elements before comparing and will enable text comparison of the documents? Of course the sorting needs to be done recursively. Data example: File A: <xml> <A/> <B/> </xml> File B: <xml> <B/> <A/> </xml> I had a similar problem and I eventually found: http://superuser.com/questions/79920/how-can-i-diff-two-xml-files That post suggests doing a canonical xml

i want use python to diff two html files: example : html_1 = """ <p>i love it</p> """ html_2 = """ <h2>i love it </p> """ the diff file will like this : diff_html = """ <del><p>i love it</p></dev><ins><h2>i love it</h2></ins> """ is there such python lib help me do this ? lxml can do something similar to what you want. From the docs: >>> from lxml.html.diff import htmldiff >>> doc1 = '''<p>Here is some text.</p>''' >>> doc2 = '''<p>Here is <b>a lot</b> of <i>text</i>.</p>''' >>> print htmldiff(doc1, doc2) <p>Here is <ins><b>a lot</b> of <i>text</i>.</ins> <del>some text.</del> </p> I don't

In Vimdiff, I know I can use "do" or "dp" to move changes from one file to the other...but these are for individual changes. If I have to undo all changes inside a specific scope/selection (say undo all changes to a particular function, but leave the rest untouched), is there a way to do it in one go ? You can use a visual selection and the ex command :diffget / :diffput So, for example to get the changes for just the current insides of a code block ( { ... } ) Vi}:diffget<Enter> To put the changes for the two enclosing levels including the lines with the brackets: V2a}:diffput<Enter> Note

I need to get the changed files list between two dates in SVN. I have used the below command.. svn diff -r{2011-10-12}:{2011-10-28} --summarize https://svn.blah.com/../ > output.txt from some reason the files modified on 28-10-2011 are not populated in the output text file. Could please give the exact command to extract the files list between the two dates (inclusive of from and to dates) this is normal, when you give the date {2011-10-28} it means "on midnight"... thus specify one day more for the end of the range. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9189786/get-changed-files-from-svn

I have a branch that was developed for a long period of time. During the development default branch was merged into that branch several times. I would like now to review all the changes done on that branch ignoring merges, to decide whether it is safe to merge it to default. I tried hg diff -r "branch('myBranch') - merge()" but it still shows changes introduced by merges. Also tried following this How to show the diff specific to a named branch in mercurial but hg diff -r "branch('myBranch') - branch('default')" still bring changes introduced by merges. The problem with your commands is that

Does Aptana have a file diff tool? Given it's a fairly standard dev requirement, I'm surprised there isn't one embedded in the IDE already. Does anyone have a good solution to this? I haven't had much experience with eclipse but seeing that Aptana is built as an Eclipse plugin, would other Eclipse plugins be compatible? Thanks! --- Answer: (because it won't let me answer my own question for 8 hours) --- Annnnnnnnd wouldn't you know it, after months of ruing the lack of file diff every time the need has arisen, I've just found the functionality within Aptana. Select 2 files in the various file

How do I force vimdiff to always compare two files line-by-line without identifying added or deleted lines? The problem is that if the diff between two files is large, but by chance two lines in the file match up, vimdiff thinks these lines are the same and just treats the rest as added or deleted lines, and the resulting diff is totally unusable. In my case, line i in file1 always corresponds to line i in file2, so vimdiff has no business finding added or deleted lines. Following is a small example with two files containing the values of two variables three times each. Vimdiff erroneously

I've been using Meld to compare directories recursively. I want to know how to export the comparison result onto a new file. Meld is a visual tool but is there any way I can save the comparison? As of version 3.18.0 this is not a supported feature. You can see the advertised features here . If you dig into the code , an UI option to save content (and subsequent implementation) is only present in data/ui/filediff.ui and not in data/ui/dirdiff.ui . This means comparison output can only be exported when comparing files. The code snapshot is from the latest commit on master, January 2 2018:

Do you know any library that will help doing that? I would write a function that prints the differences between two multiline strings in the unified diff format. Something like that: def print_differences(string1, string2): """ Prints the comparison of string1 to string2 as unified diff format. """ ??? An usage example is the following: string1=""" Usage: trash-empty [days] Purge trashed files. Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit """ string2=""" Usage: trash-empty [days] Empty the trash can. Options: --version show program's
