Compare buffers

There's a simple improvement I would find useful. I'd like to be able to compare two buffers in mmory, as opposed to compare of physical files stored.

Lacking a good diff in many programs, I often copy code or data from those programs (before and after) and paste into new (unsaved) documents in Textpad. But to compare those two buffers (Document 1 and 2), I have to first save them to physical disk files, and then compare. I'd like to be able to compare them in memory, without having to save them.

Thank you

Peter

Hi Peter!

Maybe you should take a look at ExamDiff Pro (http://www.prestosoft.com/). It allows you to compare Data which you just paste from the clipboard.
