Background:
I have to tidy up bad programming. A guy before me use to copy and paste code all over the place. So I have to find similarity in 2 functions, but within one file.
Request:
What I want to be able to do is to open BC and paste one function on LHS and second on RHS to see differences. At the moment I have to create two files and copy the code and save. After that I can compare FILES, but this is rather time consuming.

Version 3 of Beyond Compare currently has this feature. It is still in testing, but you can copy and paste multiple lines into a window due to the new inline editing functions.

And I just learned that there is also an 'Open Clipboard' under the File menu that will open the clipboard into a pane in BC2.

You learn something new every day.

Thanks Aaron,
It does work perfect.
I missed that menu option. I thought "Compare to clipboard" at popup is all I can get.

Thanks again.
