Hi all (Happy New Year) I have two PRGs with about 60 differences between them. I am looking for an editor that will allow me to view and edit them side by side. I have CodeCompare but I can't seem to get on with it and I don't have time to get to grips with it. Basically I want a one way copy-and-paste facility (copy from one file, paste into the other). If it highlighted differences that would be a bonus but not absolutely essential. All suggestions most welcome. Paul Newton

I recommend a tool called Araxis Merge. It handles file and folder comparisons. The pro version gives you 3 way comping.

I use WinMerge https://winmerge.org/?lang=en
Free open source tool. You can see the highlights, right click and have it move the line of code to another window. It works as a git difftool as well.

I use a free tool called WinMerge (https://winmerge.org/). It does exactly what you're looking for and more (for instance, it does two-way copy-and-paste). I've been very happy with it.

I've been very happy with Winmerge, for several years.

I have used CodeWright for years I don't know if it still exists.

I was trying to remember the tool I was using - at my last job in NYC - about 2.5 years ago, and, yeah - that's the one!

I swear by Beyond Compare - https://www.scootersoftware.com/features.php?zz=features_multifaceted. It's not free, but it's worth every penny. You can configure it to ignore whatever needs ignoring (don't want to know about updated datestamps in comments? no problem), and its Table Compare mode is priceless for debugging exports to CSV files. :-)

Notepad++ has a plugin for comparing two text files. I've used it for this kind of comparison.

Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code
Notepad++ also has an excellent side by side diff plugin.
I use DiffMerge.
