Diff?

[Clusty]

Somebody told me that there was a text comparing program for macs, called Diff. He also said that it's a Unix Tool.

Where do I get "diff"?

Thanks for that, but how do I access it on my Mac?

Its a command line tool. You need to open the Terminal and type:

diff file1 file2

file1 and file2 must be specified as full (Unix) paths or as relative paths to the cwd.

Or you can install the developer tools and use Apple's very pretty GUI for it called FileMerge.

I already have developer tools installed. I just tried FileMerge. Works like a charm. 🙂
