See the diff man page.

winmerge is an opensource free software to compare two files,show the
difference help in moving the difference from one file to another,say
for example my file1 is
1
2
3
and file2 is
1
1
2
3
3
3
3
if I compare this two files,UI will show the difference like

file1 file2
--------------------------------------------
1 1
2
2 2
3
3
3
3 3

winmerge will highlight the space I shown with red.its a cpp
application .with powerful shell utilities think it can be done more
easily.suggestions are welcome

Get vim, the free editor, and use vimdiff. Available for PC or Unix (as
of tomorrow,
I will have both - vim finally getting the okey dooke from our systems
people. Won't
have to copy files to my PC to diff them anymore.)
