DiffTool

DiffTool compares texts, binary files and complete folders (directories)

Use this diff utility to compare text, binary files (HexDiff), complete folders and SD-cards.

It can compare documents too (the unformated text of them).

+ And you can also store information about all the files located on your directories, to detect changed files later.

The functions of DiffTool in detail:

1. Compare 2 Texts:

- supports:

text files,

clipboard text,

source code,

text of documents (Microsoft Office and Open Office),

compiled Android XML (diff Manifest file)

- supported file formats:

ASCII, ANSI, ISO-8859-1, Latin1, CP1252,

UNICODE (UTF-8/16/32 little and big endian),

DOCX, XLSX, PPTX,

ODT, ODS, ODP,

DOC, XLS, PPT, RTF(latin1 only)

- ignores differences on whitespace

- ignores end-of-line format differences (Unix,Windows,Mac)

- search for text or line numbers

2. Compare 2 Binary Files (HexDiff):

- files can have any format

- HEX and ASCII display

- checks differences on whitespace and end-of-line

- search for HEX, ASCII text or the address

- when having tons of bytes which differ, showing all details can take a while

3. Compare 2 Folders:

- checks if files are 100% BIT EXACT

(to compare by HASH run 4.)

- include or exclude subfolders

- compare the content of ZIP, JAR, EPUB and APK

- search for file names

- use double-click to compare/merge files or to merge/synchronize folders

4. Store Folders State:

- Stores the state containing the info of files located on your directories. By viewing this state later (see 5.) all files changed, since the state has been stored, are displayed.

- This feature can also be used to compare two SD-Cards. Store the state of card 1, after it, replace card 1 by card 2, view the stored state (see 5.) and all the files which differ will be shown.

5. View Stored Diff File:

- loads stored diff's, also of other Diff/Patch tools

- loads a folder state file and checks changes

6. View the Text of a File:

- views any text file, the text of supported documents and clipboard's text

- views AndroidManifest.XML of any APK

7. View a Binary File:

- Hex Viewer

8. FGrep:

- search for text in files and documents (find in files)

On the Result Screens:

- colors:

red = old content A

green = new content B

red/green = changed content

yellow = inline changes

black = identical content, A=B

- pinch-to-zoom

- export results as text

- works on big and small displays! (uses an integrated view instead of 2 panels)

- you can search for text, file names and line numbers

- press long on a file to open it

- pressing long on the left side, opens a scrollbar having diff info too

DiffTool is also an ideal source code viewer for all developers to check their changes on C, C++, HTML, PHP, C4droid *, Python ® **, AIDE ***, Java ® **** and any other source code.
