Searching for replaced lines in TortoiseMerge

[Dmitriy Kravtsov]

Hi,
I am a student of Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science at Far Eastern State University in Russian Federation. And as a part (the major part) of my yearly project I'm going to implement a searching for replaced lines in analyzing text files. Frankly speaking, this feature already exists in other opensource project - WinMerge, but it will be great to implement it also in TortoiseMerge. First of all I'm going to investigate a number of algorithms before starting to write any code. I will glad to accept any help and advices from you.
Best Regards, Dmitriy.

I don't quite understand what you mean with "searching for replaced
lines". Searching the diffed files is already possible. And moving from
one diff section to the next is also possible.
So what's missing?

He means moved blocks detection and highlighting, see e.g.

http://winmerge.org/docs/manual/Compare_files.html#CompareFiles_diffcolors

I am Dmitriy's mentor at the university, and I frequently encourage students
to contribute to open source project for their course work.
I offer students a selection projects and topics that I am somewhat
familiar with,
to be able to help them and gauge their success.
Dmitriy has chosen TortoiseSVN as the project to contribute to,
and moved lines detection in TortoiseMerge as the particular feature
to implement.

I've been monitoring the dev forum for quite some time and I wanted to extend my personal thanks to those of you who press hard to make this a great product. I don't know how you all do it, or find the time, but there are 1000's of us who truly appreciate what you do and use your tools day in and day out to help us accomplish the impossible also.

Development while being paid is hard enough, when you don't there is little recognition for those hard efforts and late nighters.

Thanks again to everyone even the small few who can contribute even a pretty icon at times, it's not forgotten.
