Re: Compare files and copy differences

in reply to Compare files and copy differences

If you're doing this on a Unix-like operating system, or on Win32 with Cygwin, have a look at the diff(1) command. You'd probably be better off reading diffs and working with their output than reinventing the wheel. You might also look in CPAN for diff-related modules.

Not an Perl solution, but if you're on a Win32 platform, I highly recommend using a tool called BeyondCompare(http://www.scootersoftware.com/)... Ok ok it's not free, but there is an eval version, and it has a lot of nifty features.	[reply]
