  • Patent number: 7661064
    Abstract: Text intraline diffing output may be provided. Based on a comparison of each of a first plurality of lines to a second plurality of lines, a deleted line set and an added line set may be created. The deleted line set may comprise lines selected from the first plurality of lines that are not identical to any line present in the second plurality of lines. The added line set may comprise lines selected from the second plurality of lines that are not identical to any line present in the first plurality of lines. Next, a matrix may be created comprising a plurality of weights. A path may then be established through the matrix that maximizes a number of matching lines between the deleted line set and the added line set. Moreover, each of the matching lines may be displayed in which word differences may be indicated.
