WinMerge is a program that will allow us to compare the contents of two text files, indicating which lines are different in one file and the other so that we can make sure which of the two files is the valid one, but as well as that, the application will also allow us to compare the contents of two binary files or the files that can be found in two folders. That is when WinMerge will really come in handy. There is also a file map that shows the overall file differences in a location pane.On many occasions, we will find ourselves in the situation in which we will have two or more files with exactly the same name, and we won't be able to tell if they both contain the same information or if one of them is updated in comparison with the other. The app also has Regexp filtering for filenames and lines, side-by-side line difference and highlight differences inside lines. WinMerge has Unicode support, flexible syntax coloring editor, Visual SourceSafe integration, and Windows Shell integration.


The app is also highly useful for determining what has changed between file versions, and then merging those changes. WinMerge is a handy tool for visual difference display and merging, for both files and directories.
