What does non-linear refer to? Is it to do with the time required to compute the diff? Gary van der Merwe ( Talk) 09:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC) Reply

If you're lazy, you can write a shellscript or similar utility that does exactly what you want in less than the time needed to figure out what "professional" tool to use and to install it. Just iterate through your files and pipe them trough the normalizer to the diff utility. The number of files to be compared is not really relevant. I bet if you had to deal with real live data, changing and many directories, you'd start to get interested in tools that could wrap up the xml normalization for you. Shinobu 10:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Reply Haha, again, I suspect you have only done small work with one or two files. Comparing xml files as text actually works quite well, especially if you pipe them through a normalizer before the comparison. work where files are interchanged between different people) you shouldn't use. And note that for any "real" work (at least those kinds of real work where diffing is important, i.e. If you are just doing small work on one document, you are in a small, happy world, yes, but, unfortunately, some are not. Haha, perhaps you have never tried to merge directories with multiple files (much less directories with hundreds or thousands of files). doc files with an external program, since Word does a much better job at comparing them, automatically flagging inserted and deleted text with the appropriate authors and dates. doc file as an opaque binary file, or an xml file as a structureless text file, "handling" them - obviously noone seriously counts that). Many lack ability to handle these (unless you consider treating a. One of the important features is the ability to handle.

I attempted to do so by removing some redundant bullet points at least. I also thought the lead in section for this page could use some cleanup. What is the criteria for the list? How can a diff tool be used to check for rain exposure (for example)? Mrsuperboot ( talk) 16:41, 11 June 2021 (UTC) Reply The bullet-list of uses in the lead section seems random/arbitrary at best.

Even DirDiff on the Amiga could do this (and still can, in the emulation), but every tool I tried on Windows runs out of memory because it seems to allocate memory for each file it processes. I need to compare directories with terabytes of data (millions of files).

Would be useful to know which tools can handle large volumes of data without needing memory for each file processed (even if no differences were found).
