How to compare two files?

Question

The version is 7.5.6

Is there a way to make a file comparison like in SVN which opens on the left side the version of a file and at the right side the other version of the file ?

For Notepad++ the latest plugin is Compare v2.0.0 (December 2016). Note that the one referenced by Rilent is v1.5.6.2 from a previous developer (June 2013).

If you aren't confined strictly to Notepad++, you may consider the open source dedicated file comparison program WinMerge. This program allows you to right-click two files and select WinMerge for quick comparisons.

One of the comments to https://stackoverflow.com/a/29658368/4086774 describes how you can start Winmerge with left and right view file from notepad++ using the nppexec plugin. – Lars Fischer Apr 21 '18 at 11:17
