Description
Describe the Feature
A new request to consider including whitespace (space in my case) to represent the differences.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Example data --> Included in snippet.
- simple program snippet
import java.util.Arrays;import java.util.List;import com.github.difflib.text.DiffRow;import com.github.difflib.text.DiffRowGenerator;public class ShowDiffViewUsingJavaDiffUtils { static String leftString = "A sample string to test this tool."; static String rightString = "A sample string is defined here and will be used to test diff library."; public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable { //create a configured DiffRowGenerator DiffRowGenerator generator = DiffRowGenerator.create() .ignoreWhiteSpaces(true) .showInlineDiffs(true) .mergeOriginalRevised(false) .inlineDiffByWord(true) .oldTag(f -> "--") .newTag(f -> "++") .build(); //compute the differences for two test texts. List<DiffRow> rows = generator.generateDiffRows( Arrays.asList(leftString), Arrays.asList(rightString)); rows.stream().forEach(r -> { System.out.println("OldLine: " + r.getOldLine()); System.out.println("NewLine: " + r.getNewLine()); }); }}- See error - NA.
Expected behavior
The output of my program is:
OldLine: A sample string to test --this-- --tool--.NewLine: A sample string ++is defined here and will be used ++to test ++diff++ ++library++.I would like to have this diff tool to consider whitespace. e.g. consider whitespace betweenthis tool for the differences.
Expected output:
OldLine: A sample string to test --this tool--.NewLine: A sample string ++is defined here and will be used ++to test ++diff library++.I have tried all possible configurations to achieve this, but no luck, hence raising this request. If the feature does exist, please share the details.
