Advanced Text Files Visual Comparison Solution

July, 2004 Nikeware announced version 1.30 of its all-inclusive text files visual comparison software allowing end-users see all the differences between two text files in a split screen view mode. Visual Comparer includes full-featured text editor that supports both ANSI and Unicode files (separate versions are available for download) as well as syntax highlighting for most popular programming languages, including C++, C#, JavaScript, Perl, Visual Basic, VBScript and Pascal (Delphi).
The application is very handy when there is a need to display file version changes. Visual Comparer represents all differences between two text files using graphical pane, with color lines representing new fragments of text, changed text and lines of text that were left intact. This way, finding the differences is just the matter of seconds.

Visual Comparer is intended mainly for software and web site developers that require dedicated text editor with syntax highlighting and visual comparison feature. However, the application can be used by anyone who has to deal with several versions of the same text file. Visual Comparer is highly configurable, allowing customization of nearly every single part of the interface. Besides that, Visual Comparer supports plug-in architecture, which in turn allows end users
expand the program functionality by adding new syntax highlighting patterns. The ability to display line numbers and create custom bookmarks makes navigating text documents real easy, while the reporting feature allows for creation of printable HTML reports covering all the differences between files.

"Being software developers ourselves, we know what tools are actually required for everyday coding," – said Nikolai Egipko the CEO of Nikeware. "Number one is code editing software that supports syntax highlighting for various programming languages; number two is source files comparison software that allows you actually see the differences between two versions of a source file. When creating Visual Comparer, we strived to bring these two essential tools together to form up a complete software and web site development environment!"

According to Mr. Egipko, "Nikeware did its very best to come up with fully customizable, expandable, multilingual software development environment that offers full featured text editor and visual comparison tool in one handy package!"
