# LuaDiffer: A simple lua diff library
|
|
|
|
This is a simple lua module that performs a diff on two strings and returns a table of
|
|
string chunks.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
make_diff = require "diff"
|
|
s1 = [[hello
|
|
...
|
|
to the
|
|
world]]
|
|
s2 = [[hello
|
|
...
|
|
*at* the
|
|
world]]
|
|
diff = make_diff(s1, s2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
returns the table:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
{old="hello\n...\n", old_line=1, old_line_end=2,
|
|
new="hello\n...\n", new_line=1, new_line_end=2},
|
|
{old="to the\n", old_line=3, old_line_end=3,
|
|
new="*at* the\n", new_line=3, new_line_end=3},
|
|
{old="world", old_line=4, old_line_end=4,
|
|
new="world", new_line=4, new_line_end=4},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and running:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
diff:print{color=false}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
produces the output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
hello
|
|
...
|
|
- to the
|
|
+ *at* the
|
|
world
|
|
```
