In Ruby 1.8, I would call File.compare() from the "ftools" library to easily compare the contents of two files.
However, in Ruby 1.9, "ftools" is replaced by "fileutils", which doesn't have a "compare" method. What's the equivalent call?
locate the required file in the Solution Explorer window, right-click it and choose Compare Selected File in the context menu; open the required file in Visual Studio, right-click the required document name in the document tab well and in the document's context menu select Compare Current File.
Ahh, the method has been renamed to compare_file in FileUtils.
There's also an alias of "cmp" in both versions.
Old question, but I just got here from google. identical?
is available for those who like me prefer that coding style.
FileUtils.identical?(exp, act)
