Summary

Compare two blocks of plain text and efficiently return a list of differences.

Overview

Compare Text activity implements Myer's diff algorithm which is generally considered to be the best general-purpose diff.

Example:

Input:

Text1: "Hello World."
Text2 "Goodbye World."

Output:

List<KeyValuePair> of differences is computed which describe the transformation of text1 into text2.
The first element specifies if it is an insertion (1), a deletion (-1) or an equality (0). The second element specifies the affected text.
Therefore the result for the above Text1 and Text2 is: [(DELETE, "Hello"), (INSERT, "Goodbye"), (EQUAL, " World.")]

Features
