in thread Finding the parent of a text in a file

I ran it on the input you provided, I changed the 2nd file a bit more and got the following result: 
- 5 /system/security/management-ip/protocol/shutdown
+ 5 /system/security/management-ip/protocol/reboot
- 7 /system/security/management-ip/protocol/entry 1
- 8 /system/security/management-ip/protocol/entry 1/snmp ok
+ 7 /system/security/management-ip/protocol/entry 2
+ 8 /system/security/management-ip/protocol/entry 2/snmp ok

    Thanks Choroba.
    Is it taking more time to complete.Because the code is showing no progress for few minutes.
    I tried to give some print statement just outside and inside the compare loop but nothing got printed.

      If your files are large, it's possible. Diff is hard.
