multiple changes in one line with diff tool?

diff

Solution

There are multiple diff tools that will do what you're asking for.

Off the top of my head I know Winmerge and TortoiseMerge does that.

Problem

Normally, 'diff' tool finds only changes between lines. For example, if i compare 'abcdef' and 'AbcdEf', diff will show that 'abcde' is changed and 'f' is unchanged. Is it possible to find multiple changes per line, so in example above i will see that it's only 'a' changed to 'A' and 'e' changed to 'E'? Or diff outut format does not support such?
