Look at the two files being diffed in the following command, and then look at the diff output. It's wrong, isn't it? Both files contain the text "test1test2" with a carriage return between "test1" and "test2". The diff command below (when I used it locally with just the file names) omits the "test1" in Putty.
diff -y -W 80 http://www.polisource.com/DIFF_CR_TEST.txt http://www.polisource.com/DIFF_CR_TEST_2.txt In a similar test on longer files, the diff output included tabs where there were none, between the carriage return and the text after it, for a line in the second file. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
