How it Works

When you compare two files using the Notepad++ Compare plugin, you'll see the results in two tabs. The files will open side-by-side, with added, deleted, moved, or changed lines clearly highlighted. The plugin uses a range of symbols to indicate changes:

* The yellow exclamation mark symbol () indicates a changed line

* The minus sign () indicates a deleted line

Example Usage

To compare two files and list their differences, you can use the following command: `diff file1.txt file2.txt`. This will display the contents of both files, highlighting any changes.
