Editor's review of ExamDiff

- "ExamDiff"

- Version reviewed: ExamDiff 1.8
This program displays two files side by side, highlighting the differences. ExamDiff's handy interface offers several navigation schemes: buttons taking you to the previous or next change, a drop-down list of lines, or mouse functionality going directly to any line. It lets you scroll files in tandem or separately. You can customize the colors the program uses to mark added, deleted, and changed lines. When running a comparison, you can ignore white spaces and case differences. It outputs results as standard Unix DIFF files. Unfortunately, no manual is available. This free tool is mainly useful for developers.

Version: ExamDiff 1.8
Pros: 1. It is lightweight
2. I do not have to use the cmd line every time. When you open this app, the first thing it asks you is the 2 files to be compared location
3. By default it uses notepad to open your files. However, you can specify even your fav. editor. I have set up scite, though the difference is not that great
4. Many good options...some are ignore whitespace, case, specify colors, etc....
5. fast
Cons: really not, considering its free-ware, light and does what it says

Version: ExamDiff 1.8
Pros: Does exactly what I need easily and simply - easy to understand UI. One option I'd like to see added: show only those lines that are the SAME

Version: ExamDiff 1.8
Pros: I use ExamDiff to find the differences between versions of program source files. I've been very impressed by how well it works with files having a large number of additions and deletions. Best tool for the job that I've found in 25 years of software development.
