I have two files named Before.txt and After.txt:

Quote:
Before.txt:
--- --- ---
--- --- ---
<Marker 1>
--- --- --- --
--- --- --- --
--- --- --- --
<Marker 2>
--- --- ---
--- --- ---

After.txt:
--- --- ---
--- --- ---
<Marker 1>
--- --- --- --
--- --- --- --
--- --- --- --
<Marker 2>
--- --- ---
--- --- ---
Now i want to find the difference in content between <Marker 1> and <Marker 2> in the two files.
