About Compare Text With TextDiff

Compares text files and folders. Florencesoft TextDiff finds the differences between two plain text files, such as source code, XML and scripts. It can compare text for articles, dissertations, reports and essays. It will also compare two folders and report new, deleted and modified files.

It is ideal for software developers who want to see what has changed between two hierarchal directories of text files.

It will also compare Microsoft Word and Rich Text Format files, although it will not compare their formatting, tables, graphics or pictures. For the former, Microsoft Word has to be installed as a desktop application.

You can supply the text to be compared by drag and drop or by pasting in text directly from the clipboard. As such it is a fast way to compare any text that you can copy to the clipboard from any document type you can open on your computer.

It uses a truly novel text difference algorithm that can distinguish between a change caused by text being moved up or down in a document from a deletion or addition.

We offer a free trial for 7 days so you can evaluate the software before deciding whether you want to purchase it.
