Guiffy

Guiffy is a super handy tool that helps you compare the internal structure of two files. This is really useful because it can point out important differences between documents that might be tricky to notice. If you're a software developer, you'll find this program especially valuable since it allows you to see tiny code differences in two snippets.

Intuitive Setup for Easy Comparison

The setup of Guiffy is pretty straightforward. It has two frames where the text from the source files is displayed side by side. Plus, it automatically generates line numbers! This makes spotting differences a piece of cake. But here’s the cool part: it's not just for files! You can also compare folders and even archives.

Visualize Differences Clearly

When you load folders or archives, Guiffy shows their structure using detailed tree views. One of the best features? The differences between source items pop out in a bright red color! This is super helpful when you're dealing with code snippets that have thousands of lines.

Customize Your Comparisons

You can also set up 'ignore rules' to make your comparisons even smoother. This means you can choose to ignore certain strings during analysis—like simple whitespaces or blank lines. You can even use regular expressions if you're feeling fancy!

Merging Files Made Easy

Merging files is another great feature of Guiffy. You get to decide how you want to do it with just a few clicks! Whether you want to copy only identical content or include the differences from one file or the other, it's all up to you! Once you've merged everything, you can save it as a standard TXT document or as a source file for different programming languages like C++, Basic, or Java.

A Must-Have Tool for Developers

All in all, Guiffy is an essential tool for anyone dealing with similar but not identical files—especially if you're working with code snippets!
