Print out each difference in both files. for example, if i have 2 files: f1.txt, f2.txt in f1: in f2: I'm learning ruby. I'm learning ruby. I'm not good at it. I'm good at it. So, I want to know if there a function can return an array that contains "I'm not good at it." and "I'm good at it." I wonder if I have to compare line by line or there is function in Ruby would do that for me. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
