IMHO your question is by far not specific enough.  What kind of output
do you expect exactly?  Do you want all _words_ reported that are
missing or extra?  Do you have to have _substrings_ reported which are
missing or extra? Do you need _positional information_ with that?  If
so, which (word position, character position)?  Do you need human
readable output or do you want to automatically process it?  etc.

Cheers
