Meaning I would compare words and their index in an array of words created from
the two strings. The first mismatch is easily found, but the tricky part is
finding the last one. Here a context driven comparison may help. Instead of
comparing word N in both strings, you compare words N and N-1,

Thanks, Diederik. That's exactly the approach I took by using NSMutableArray's
-removeObject.

One solution is the UNIX diff command x-man-page://1/diff which, as Jens
previously mentioned, works on lines and is commonly used by version control
systems and programmers. You can call out to this command from Cocoa
Note that there are two differences, I would want to know: where string A says
this, string B says that. So you have both this and 'that for a
difference. A lot of times, pre-optimizing your strings helps, meaning you
first take out punctuation (mostly comma's) and remember where to put them

I've searched high and low (or roundabouts in circles) for a built in method
that will return the difference between two strings as a string.
I hacked up this solution below, but it feels cludgy and isn't very robust

There is no simple definition of the difference between two strings, and I
don't think it's a basic need at all.
Usually when programmers talk about differences they're referring to

That's close. Any words that are in one string but not in the other. Yup, that

And if you don't care about word counts, NSMutableSet -minusSet: or
