Compare line membership between two text blocks and list added or removed lines. Reordering and duplicate-count changes are not a full sequence diff.

About this tool

Paste the original and modified text to compare which lines occur in each block. The output prefixes missing original lines with a minus and new lines with a plus, and reports counts and a simple similarity estimate.

This implementation uses line membership checks, not a longest-common-subsequence or Git-style diff. It can miss reordered lines and changes in duplicate counts. Output is plain text rather than colored inline change highlighting.

Frequently asked questions

Does it detect moved lines and repeated-line changes?

Not reliably. Lines are compared by membership rather than sequence or occurrence count.
