Beyond Compare
Quote:
For digital books... if there are a massive amount of typos, I typically use a code comparison program (I personally use Beyond Compare). And I compare the before/after. Then I would email that to the publisher + your fixed version + an explanation.
I had never heard of Beyond Compare and reading your post I immediately wanted it. Not only would I like to compare html files but I have other uses for the programme as well. I have paid for it and downloaded the trial 30 day version and waiting for my registration code at the moment.

I am finding it rather overwhelming at present. I have managed to compare two folders, each containing thousands of files ok and was very pleased with the result.

But I don't know where to start with comparing two html files.

Is there any chance you could do a quick idiots guide howto on your method of working?

Thank you
