  Hi, I have been workin on a file comparison implementation which needs to high light the differences between two files.Both these files are almost alike but they have a few differences(in the sense they are revisied versions of the same file) I have tried out some approaches like finding the Longest Common Subsequence between them Also tried to implement the Algorithm found at http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/360000/359467/p264-heckel.pdf?key1=359467&key2=7794270321&coll=GUIDE&dl=GUIDE&CFID=16728805&CFTOKEN=10032967 The Algorithm works fine for most of the cases But in some case as mentioned in the link it fails Can any one suggest a better algorithm Thanks in advance Srikanth
