Hello there, Within linux (and probably other unix flavors), you can use the "strings" command line tool to check printable character sequences in any file. Use "man strings" at a terminal window, for more help using it.
The screenshot you sent has dots for non-printables characters, so I believe that showing only printable chars would be enough You can apply the "strings" tools to each file you want to compare, save each output to a temp file, and then diff/meld those temp files. Anyways, it would be nice to have meld doing this automatically for non-text files, when "strings" is available.
