Text documents you work with might need to be updated on a regular basis, and it can be quite difficult to spot differences in a couple of files. This can also involve writing your code, which requires even more attention. Luckily, you can rely on specialized applications like Visual Comparer to analyze differences.

Once launched, the application sequentially brings up a couple of load dialogs, letting you choose the files you want to compare. Since it reads file based on character encoding, you’re able to compare quite the variety of file types, making it possible to analyze text documents and programming files.

The displays lets you work in a dual-pane interface, showing contents of the two files in each, with differences neatly highlighted. You’re free to edit the two documents on the spot, or simply update them accordingly, either from left to right or the other way around. You can set documents to read-only mode to prevent accidental editing.

The application offers quite an advantage for comparing and updating the content of programming files. Syntax highlighting can be enabled for better visualization of lines of code, and it supports languages like Borland Delphi, C#, C, C++, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Perl, VBScript, .NET, as well as plain text.

Bookmarks can be added to easily jump to sections of interest later on. You benefit from a search tool for quick and easy identification of strings of interest, and it’s also fitted with a replace function. The view menu provides access to additional elements to enhance your workflow, such as EOL markers, adjustment of tab size, comparison map, line numbers, and more.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Visual Comparer is sure to come in handy, especially when you update files, which can be plain text or source code files. It comes with a decent variety of features, file support, making it worth your while overall.
