Comparing RTF files and returning the difference in an RFT format

Software Recommendations Asked by Im2be on September 25, 2021

I am looking for an STDIN/STDOUT supported program that can return the difference (preferably in RTF format) between two RTF files or strings, similar to how GitHub tracks changes between two text-files. I’d rather not have to build something like this from scratch.

If you want to get the result back as RTF then the comparison needs to understand RTF. One way would be simply to read the RTF into an application that understands RTF, such as Word or OpenOffice/LibreOffice then do the comparison in that application and export the result as RTF.

You can use WinMerge.

WinMerge is a free software tool for data comparison and merging of text-like files. It is useful for determining what has changed between versions, and then merging changes between versions.
