xdiff_string_diff Make unified diff of two strings &reftitle.description; stringxdiff_string_diff stringold_data stringnew_data intcontext3 boolminimalfalse Makes an unified diff containing differences between old_data string and new_data string and returns it. The resulting diff is human-readable. An optional context parameter specifies how many lines of context should be added around each change (with default value of 3). Setting minimal parameter to true will result in outputting the shortest patch file possible (can take a long time). &reftitle.parameters; old_data First string with data. It acts as "old" data. new_data Second string with data. It acts as "new" data. context Indicates how many lines of context you want to include in the diff result. Default is 3. minimal Set this parameter to &true; if you want to minimalize the size of the result (can take a long time). &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns string with resulting diff or &false; if an internal error happened. &reftitle.examples; <function>xdiff_string_diff</function> example The following code makes unified diff of two articles. ]]> &reftitle.notes; This function doesn't work well with binary strings. To make diff of binary strings use xdiff_string_bdiff/xdiff_string_rabdiff. &reftitle.seealso; xdiff_string_patch
