Comparing HTML Files

Hi

I have been using Microsoft XmlDiffPatch to compare 2 XML files.
I wanted to know if there is any Microsoft Tool which can be used to compare
two HTML files in the similar manner or any refernce on msdn which I can use
for this purpose.

Thanks.

This isn't a Microsoft tool, but I usually use WinMerge-http://winmerge.org/
(freeware) to compare text files. From your post, I can't determine if you
need to do this programmaticall y or not. If you are looking for a way to
programmaticall y diff files, this app probably won't work for you.

Hi Page Brooks,

Thanks for your prompt response. I want a tool to do the diff
programatically . Something like a third party dll or some piece of code
which I can incorporate in my current code.

Thanks,
Pooja.

Hi all, Does anybody know a command line tool (linux or windows) that can compare 2 XML files. There's only 1 extra requirement that makes it a bit more complicated: the order of attributes or elements within an element is of no importance, and so the tool should still report that 2 XML files are equal even though the order is different.
