#! /usr/bin/env python # Module ndiff version 1.7.0 # Released to the public domain 08-Dec-2000, # by Tim Peters (tim.one@home.com). # Provided as-is; use at your own risk; no warranty; no promises; enjoy! # ndiff.py is now simply a front-end to the difflib.ndiff() function. # Originally, it contained the difflib.SequenceMatcher class as well. # This completes the raiding of reusable code from this formerly # self-contained script. """ndiff [-q] file1 file2 or ndiff (-r1 | -r2) < ndiff_output > file1_or_file2 Print a human-friendly file difference report to stdout. Both inter- and intra-line differences are noted. In the second form, recreate file1 (-r1) or file2 (-r2) on stdout, from an ndiff report on stdin. In the first form, if -q ("quiet") is not specified, the first two lines of output are -: file1 +: file2 Each remaining line begins with a two-letter code: "- " line unique to file1 "+ " line unique to file2 " " line common to both files "? " line not present in either input file Lines beginning with "? " attempt to guide the eye to intraline differences, and were not present in either input file. These lines can be confusing if the source files contain tab characters. The first file can be recovered by retaining only lines that begin with " " or "- ", and deleting those 2-character prefixes; use ndiff with -r1. The second file can be recovered similarly, but by retaining only " " and "+ " lines; use ndiff with -r2; or, on Unix, the second file can be recovered by piping the output through sed -n '/^[+ ] /s/^..//p' """ __version__ = 1, 7, 0 import difflib, sys def fail(msg): out = sys.stderr.write out(msg + "\n\n") out(__doc__) return 0 # open a file & return the file object; gripe and return 0 if it # couldn't be opened def fopen(fname): try: return open(fname, 'U') except IOError as detail: return fail("couldn't open " + fname + ": " + str(detail)) # open two files & spray the diff to stdout; return false iff a problem def fcompare(f1name, f2name): f1 = fopen(f1name) f2 = fopen(f2name) if not f1 or not f2: return 0 a = f1.readlines(); f1.close() b = f2.readlines(); f2.close() for line in difflib.ndiff(a, b): print line, return 1 # crack args (sys.argv[1:] is normal) & compare; # return false iff a problem def main(args): import getopt try: opts, args = getopt.getopt(args, "qr:") except getopt.error as detail: return fail(str(detail)) noisy = 1 qseen = rseen = 0 for opt, val in opts: if opt == "-q": qseen = 1 noisy = 0 elif opt == "-r": rseen = 1 whichfile = val if qseen and rseen: return fail("can't specify both -q and -r") if rseen: if args: return fail("no args allowed with -r option") if whichfile in ("1", "2"): restore(whichfile) return 1 return fail("-r value must be 1 or 2") if len(args) != 2: return fail("need 2 filename args") f1name, f2name = args if noisy: print '-:', f1name print '+:', f2name return fcompare(f1name, f2name) # read ndiff output from stdin, and print file1 (which=='1') or # file2 (which=='2') to stdout def restore(which): restored = difflib.restore(sys.stdin.readlines(), which) sys.stdout.writelines(restored) if __name__ == '__main__': args = sys.argv[1:] if "-profile" in args: import profile, pstats args.remove("-profile") statf = "ndiff.pro" profile.run("main(args)", statf) stats = pstats.Stats(statf) stats.strip_dirs().sort_stats('time').print_stats() else: main(args)
