strings having a word document.first string name is strFileName and
second string name is strFilename1.

Hi Twinkle,

I'm not sure what you are asking for.

Do you have two almost identical strings and want to mark the differences (like comparing a document with its older version)? Or do you have mean string1 is a list of words that should occur at least once in string2, and mark missing words?

When you mean highlight missing words, what do you mean? Strings can't be highlighted, but you can add codes that will cause words to be highlighted when displayed in various ways. How to highlight a word very much depends on what you display it with.

If string1 is "Hello World." and string2 is "Hello. How are you." What do you expect to happen?

I don't think this can be solved easily. For instance, how do you find the proper Hello World in each document.

To begin with, you need to find out how to parse the document and the html file and extract only the text. You could then do a character by character comparison and write a third string as you go with missing characters and color codes.
