From: Joe Van Dyk Date: 2006-01-12T09:57:13+09:00 Subject: unit tests and string comparisons Hi, I'm testing the equality of two rather large strings. They look the same to me, but doing assert_equal "big ass long string", "big ass long string" says that they're different. And they look very similar to me. I know that they're different though, as doing "big ass long string".sum gives a different checksum than the other one. Any ideas on how I can easily view the differences between two long strings?
