Compare two TXT using cURL

Powerful cURL command line tool to compare TXT files in PDF, Word, HTML, TXT, MD and other formats

Use cURL command line tool to use our file difference checker, compare two TXT documents and see the differences between them clearly shown in the output. You no longer need to compare your documents manually. Also note that the comparison result can be exported to a DOCX, PDF, DOC and others.

Compare TXT in cURL

Our cURL SDK is designed to give you the most accurate result, even though comparison is a complex function itself.

Sometimes you need to be sure that the document in the TXT format has not been changed, and if it has, you need to find out what the difference is. Just use our cURL diff tool to compare two TXT files and find differences in whole words or single characters. Moreover, if only one character in a word has changed, this word will be marked as changed entirely.

Now you no longer need to spend time manually comparing TXT documents, and you can quickly find even small changes and export such diffs to a document in a convenient format.
