Compare different parts of one file

[emmemm]

Given a text file, how can I compare different parts of that file with each other?

For example I have a source code file and want to compare two functions?

For now I duplicate the file twice and delete all irrelevant parts in those files.
Then I compare this two helper files.

Is there a more elegant way to do the job?

Hello,

The easiest method to compare just a specific section to another specific section is:
Select and "copy" function 1/text block. Similar to if you wanted to copy/paste it.
Select the other function, then right click and select "Compare to Clipboard".

This will launch a new tab comparing the first block with the second block.

You can also use our Align With command in the right click menu to 'push' one line or section of text to align with a different line or block on the other side.

How do these methods work for you?
