yes. is it easy? that depends on how far you want to go with diff'ing (and how good you are at string manipulation :-) this is a general problem which has been solved by very skilled people already, I would suggest reading some more about 'diff' etc and figure out if you can use existing tools to get what you want: http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/diffutils.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff

waiting for your reply. thanks. Yours, Jenny
