> Subject: [EE]: How to find the changes in a new version of a file

James:

My advice? Don't reinvent the "diff" tools, use them.

I'd take this route:

1) Strip the html tags out of the two files.
2) Diff 'em (turn off white-space differences)
3) Parse the result of the diff file, possibly detecting "false hits" that
may not matter.

This probably isn't too much initial work. You can refine the process if
this shows good results.
