IDE Window: Diff
From Lazarus wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe diff tool alows to compare two files or selections of two files. It can create a diff or patch. The comparison is line based (not words or paragraphs). So it only works for text files (sources).
Text1
Select the first file to compare. If there is a selction available you can compare only this part of the text.
Text2
Select the second file to compare. If there is a selction available you can compare only this part of the text.
Options
- Case sensitive: Distinguish small an big letters
- Ignore spaces at start of line: Ignore the indenting space when comparing two lines. This includes tab characters.
- Ignore differences in line ends: A unix line ending #10 is the same as a windows line ending #13#10.
- Ignore spaces (newline chars not included): Ignore all spaces. 'A B' is the same as 'AB'.
- Ignore if empty lines were added or removed: Skip empty lines.
- Ignore spaces at end of line: Ignore trailing spaces when comparing two lines.
- Ignore amount of space characters: Any amount of spaces is treated as one space.
