Unified Diff Patch Files
Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2013 9:56 am
Is there any chance you will add the "unified" format of Diff report often required by patch utilities?
According to Wikipedia:
You'd pick up my licence fee for one if ExamDiff could produce these patch files (from the GUI, plus command line as a bonus).
According to Wikipedia:
A service I use regularly requires patch files as produced by the following command line:The unified format (or unidiff) inherits the technical improvements made by the context format, but produces a smaller diff with old and new text presented immediately adjacent. Unified format is usually invoked using the "-u" command line option. This output is often used as input to the patch program. Many projects specifically request that "diffs" be submitted in the unified format, making unified diff format the most common format for exchange between software developers.
Code: Select all
diff -urN old_file new_file > mychange.patch
