Detailed Description

<summary> The diff class compares two files. it compares also two BufferedReaders or two strings. after the comparison the vector will represents a list of hunk corresponding with blocks of difference.

to generate a file of difference, one can instanciate as follows the class diff:

<blockquote>

	        diff d = new diff(file1,file2);
	    

</blockquote>

which is equivalent to:

<blockquote>

	        diff d = new diff();
	        d.diffFile(file1,file2);
	    

</blockquote>

To compare two BufferedReaders or two String we have to instanciate as follows:

<blockquote>

	        diff d = new diff();
	        d.diffBuffer(BufferedReader1,BufferedReader2);
	    

</blockquote>

or:

<blockquote>

	        diff d = new diff();
	        d.diffString(String1,String2);
	    

</blockquote>

The class diff includes methods for examining, printing or saveing blocks of difference: (Hunks). Here are some more examples of how diff can be used:

<blockquote>

	   	diff d=new diff(args[0],args[1]);
	   	d.print();
	        d.save("diff.txt");
	    

</blockquote>

Example using BufferedReader and ED_format:

<blockquote>

 
	   	BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
	   	BufferedReader inn=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[1]));
	   	diff d = new diff();
	   	d.diffBuffer(in,inn);
	   	d.print_ED();
	   	d.save_ED("diff.txt");
	    

</blockquote>

To go throw the list of Hunks we can choose between an Enumeration or a loop by spesifyng index in the vector to get at each time the corresponding Hunk.

<blockquote>

 
	        Vector v=d.getHunk();
	        for(Enumeration e=v.element();e.hasMoreElements(); )
	          {
	            System.out.print(((Hunk)e.nextElement()).convert());
	          } 
	    

</blockquote>

or:

<blockquote>

	        diff d = new diff(file1,file2); 
	        for(int i=0; i<d.numberOfHunk(); i++){
	           Object k=d.hunkAt(i);
	           if(k instanceof Hunk)
	             System.out.print(k.convert());
	         }
	    

</blockquote>
