Unix diff command under Windows 7?

  • 1

I’ve used the “diff” command in unix and love it.
Is there anything similar in Windows 7.
I have several files (in different folders) with the same name and want to know if they’re different or the same. If the same, I could delete. If different, I’d want to know the difference so I could update the most complete with the differences and then delete the non-updated file.

  1. Picnix may be what you are looking for. See here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pic…

    NOTE:
    I just noticed the website does not list Windows 7 in the supported OS list. It says:
    All 32-bit MS Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP).

    I know it works in XP. You could still try it and see.
