    Hey guys. I've got a site that I use a CMS on that I've made some modifications to. I'm looking for a good way to find all the changes I've made. I know that the unix tool diff can compare two files and spit out the differences but I'm looking for a more robust tool that can take a list of files and then output the name of the file and something like:

    Line 360-370 changed from:

    blah blah blah

    to:

    la la la

    Does anyone know of something like this?

    I keep my source code in version control, Visual SourceSafe, TFS, CVS, etc. But if you need to DIFF code that is on the server and a previous version, give Beyond Compare a try. I have used others, but keep coming back to Beyond Compare. The local to FTP DIFF tool is indispensable.
