I don't know Total Commander... Do u want sth like a text comparisson module?

It sounds like a diff to me. There are several possible ways to implement this, but it's not trivial in any case. Check for example this article (http://www.codeproject.com/tools/difftool.asp).

http://www.totalcommander.com to see the compare by content. but is the same as "Compare It!" and diff i think. I had came up with an algorithm but now i have to implement to see if it works this algorithm is only for strings ( like text lines in a file). but if i can do this the rest (for the file) is simple i gues.
If u came up with an algorithm too post it here. my algorithm is to complicated to explain but if i make the souce in java i will post it.
have a nice day.
