[Suite] What is the best software to compare files and see changes?

[Alfa1]

Is Beyond Compare the best solution for this or is there other software? Is there free software?

[IBxAnders]

I use Free WinMerge to compare text files.

[Andreas]

So do I, works pretty well

As already mentioned, nother (non-free) option would be Beyond Compare

Notepad++ seems best for me cause I already use it for everything

I'm on a Mac, and I use BBEdit to compare files/folders.

You can compare files with it?

Yes.

Open both files, then --> Compare --> Compare.

[Ramsesx]

Yes.

Open both files, then --> Compare --> Compare.

Thanks, I use it since more than one year but never saw this *lol*

the latest version required me to Plugin > plugin manager > install compare first.

If your on linux (Or mabye a mac?)
You could create a txt file called

diff1.txt - Put one of the text's into that, then create diff2.txt and put the other in that.

Then save them both, and run this command:

diff -Naur diff1.txt diff2.txt

it will then show the diffrences

I've been using DiffMerge as of late and so far, it does the job for me

[TheNewOne]

notepad++ works well for me

[bchertov]

For Mac, I like DeltaWalker from Deltopia
