in reply to Re: diff of two strings
in thread diff of two strings

rgiskard,

I did not know about Text::WordDiff module, but I just installed it and tried it.

The module does a great job identifying the differences of the two strings. However, the module seems to be lacking some functionality in regard to my specific problem

Problems:
- the result generated by the module is a single string color coded of the combined two strings => I need two strings (original strings) but with new/changed words tagged (see example in original posting).
- I did not find a functionality in the module to give me an indication if a certain word is new or it just changed its position in the string.

However, I will take a look in the module's source code, I might get an idea about their algorithm

Thanks a lot
