Title: Text file Comparison software
Post by: lekky on July 28, 2008, 09:47:54 AM

Hey all, need some help.

I'm using WinMerge to compare 2 files, literally db dumps. WinMerge is being very helpful by telling me that there are differences, but to me they seem like ordering differences, such that the files hold hte same information, but some of it is in different places in the file.

Is there any software that will compare lines and tell me if one file holds everyline of the other file, regardless of actual position?

Or a quick way to sort (UNIX script would work :))

Just used the linux sort command and re-checked them using WinMerge.

I'm gonna have a play with WinMerge and see it theres any funcionality that could have checked it for me itself.
