I thought I'd posted this before, but I can't find it. Odd.

Does anyone have any bright ideas about how to go about comparing two blocks of text, in the same way that Wikipedia does when you look at two different versions of a page? I literally don't know where to start.

Oh, and I'm using C#, should it matter!

Have you heard of "slobber"? Do you tend to think of it as a positive term? Because the one thing that dogs can be trusted to do, besides thumping gaseous dead rats out their ass and besides biting everybody, is to slobber all over themselves and you. You need to do some serious thinking about whether a dog is really what you need in your life right now.

Actually coding it, or just one of the many tools that'll do it for you like WinDiff?

Randy sees the golden opportunity (like finding plutonium by accident) and takes it.

You could find the code mediawiki uses and ~~rip it off~~ use it as a reference.

He could download the code MediaWiki uses and use it perfectly guiltlessly, because it's Open Source and the whole fucking point of OS is to share knowledge. Although with him wanting to do it with C#/.NET, it might be more useful to look at the WinMerge source instead, since that's a Windows-based product rather than a PHP one, so probably requires less translation of the ideas. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Coded, unfortunately- I need to incorporate it into a web page deployment tool.

Apparently the source of both WinDiff and WinMerge are available, so I might take a peek in there and see how things are done.

Cheers, all!

Apparently this is a .NET component what'll do it:

has no one already invented a web page deployment tool? or do you have some requirements that no-one is likely to have covered.

We have a lot of silly requirements, that no-one has covered in any software: Must work with Contribute Publishing Service Must be usable by people who don't have a clue All sorts of gay stuff with meta data Custom replacement of header text with images All a shower of crap, essentially.
