Using diff to find the portions of many files that are the same? (bizzaro-diff, or inverse-diff)

Question

Bizzaro-Diff!!!

Is there a away to do a bizzaro/inverse-diff that only displays the portions of a group of files that are the same? (I.E. way more than three files)

Odd question, I know...but I'm converting someone's ancient static pages to something a little more manageable.

You want a clone detector. It detects similar code chunks across large source systems. See our ClonedR tool: http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Clone/index.html
