Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is a diff function like the unix command in C++?
In fact I would like to know if you can call the unix (I should say
*nix) command from within a c++ application?
Also I have a binary that has been compiled by a friend, is there a way
to call it from within a C++ application and pass it a parameter?
thanks,
Lionel.

Use 'system' function. RTFM.

Yes, use 'system' function. Also, search the newsgroup archives for the
keywords "system function C++". You will see more recommendations , I am
sure.

'popen' is not a standard C or C++ function. When giving an off-topic
response it is customary to supply some kind of explanation. Thanks.

It's a posix standard.

- color coding to highlight differences

SchemaCrawler is a new schema diff tool on Sourceforge.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/schemacrawler
It can display the schema in a text format (plain text, CSV, or HTML),
designed for diff-ing. This is especially useful in diff-ing an older
and newer version of a schema. It is written in Java (platform
independent), and runs from the command line, or as an ant task.

Hi all,
I try to create a tool to check the delta (diff) of 2
binaries and create the delta binary. I use binary
formatter (serialization) to create the delta binary. It
works fine but the delta binary is pretty huge in size. I
have 1 byte file and 2 bytes file, the delta should be 1
byte but somehow it turns out to be 249 bytes using binary
formatter. I guess serialization has some other things
added to the delta file.

Hi!
Suppose I have "pg_dump -s" of two pg installs, one is "dev", another is
"production". Their schemas don't differ too much, and I want to get a "diff
-u"-like schema diff so I can quickly add missing/remove old
tables/sequences/etc to one or another (manually). Is there some quick tool
for doing this ?
There was a thread about it sometime in aug, 2002, but it ended without
producing anything useful.

I'm preparing my master thesis about a XML Merge Tool implementation and was
wondering if there is any open standard for XML diff regarding topics like:
- is a diff result computed on the ordered or unordered xml node tree of
the compared documents?
- what identifiers/criteria should be used by default to match elements of
the same type in different documents?
- should a diff tool consider move operations or only insert/delete

Hello,
I'm looking for an implementation for diffing 2 (text) files and spitting
out the output using php only. i would like to extend this to use ftp to
diff two files on two ftp servers, or one local file & a remote ftp server.
Anyone have any ideas on source for this before i go ahead and build it? At
least the diff engine? a nice gui would be best, but not totally necessary.
TIA,

I need to find the difference of two files and save it in third file and process it..
But the outpur of diff command is coming with the 'line number - difference' code.
Eg of my output
i22,26d21
< Use the bc program to convert from decimal to hexadecimal.
< To do so, use the obase command to set the base for output:
39c34,35
< See Section 5.6 for more examples of using bc.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
