Two Identical Codes

I've got two files with identical code. Is there a program which would automatically scan these two files and point out the differences? Color it or something?

 

There are programs to do such task, some are freeware others are shareware and they can process almost any readeable file.

Already found the solution. This program opens two windows side by side and colors the differences in the code. If anyone else has the same problem, here is the software I used:

For what it's worth, I still can't go past Araxis Merge. Does it cost? Hell yes, but I think it's worth every bit of it...
