Don't you think I knew that when I typed it?
What part of "very crude" did you not get?
Ya want me to do Jenny's work for her for free or what?! :-)
The point was that depending on what Jenny wants for output, it could be
pretty easy to compare two strings character by character.
Or it could be incredibly difficult, if you need diff-like capabilities of
recognizing similar lines of text interspersed with radically different
lines of text.
She obviously didn't like the "use diff" answer, so I gave her the yeast
to roll her own.
'Course, she didn't like that either, but that's hardly my fault.
