Gives the differences with line numbers for two text files
I got tired of continuously comparing my output by the sample output provided for any assignments, so I made this small program in Java that outputs any differences found between the two files.
#Compiling
To compile this program, you can simply compile the program using javac diffComparer.java
#Running To run this program, there are two ways.
- If you simply want the lines that are diffs, you can simply use the command
java diffComparer <originalFile>.txt <yourFile>.txt - If you want to get deep diagnostics on what is different in the line, you can use the command
java diffComparer -deep <originalFile>.txt <yourFile>.txt
#Output If you run the program with the files provided in the repository, you will see output like this. I have divided the sections so it is easy for you to pinpoint where the files don't match based on the line numbers.
