Diff tool for Mac without saving text to files [closed]

Question

I use meld on Linux and I am able to compare two pieces of text without having to save them in files. Is there something similar for Mac and Windows?

Answer 1

NotePad++ with the Compare plugin on Windows:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-compare/

Answer 2

TextWrangler for OS X does a nice diff of either files on disk or documents being edited.

That would allow you to make two empty docs, paste your text into each of them and run the diff.

Answer 3

The meld tool has been ported to Mac OS X and is available via "fink".

Another link is this one.

You will need to install fink first however, and I believe you can get started here.
