Occasionally I (or programs) change only certain words or sub-strings of lines of text files.
Example: In line 154 of file hello123.txt the line
aaa bbb ccc ddd
is changed to
aaa bbb fff ddd
When I perform now a text compare between the new and the old version of the text file then the whole line is marked with red background. Just as if the old line is completely removed and a new line was completely added.
Is there no change detection on a finer (word or better: sub-string) granularity?
What I need is a text compare where the two lines appear side-by-side and only
"ccc" is marked with red font (indicating a deletion) and only "fff" is marked in green as changed-to indicator.
Is this somehow possible?
Or can this be implemented in the next release?
Thank you
Peter
