Hello, I have two .odt files extensions and I tried running diff command like this
It just returns this output, that they are different but doesnt tell me where they are different
so does diff command work only if the files are .txt, or .c files, or .m files (like it should be only plain text or some programming language file)
and for other kinds of file extension, what do we do for them? is there an alternative command, to know say if two versions of a .doc/ .pdf file where they are different?
All,
How to exclude a directory while diff execution?
For ex:
To exclude file which we don't want to see diff, we have -x <filename>.
Thanks in advance (1 Reply)

odfhighlight
ODFHIGHLIGHT(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation ODFHIGHLIGHT(1p)NAME
odfhighlight - search, replace and highlight text in a document
SYNOPSIS
odfhighlight "source.odt" "search string" -r "replacement" -o "target.odt"
replaces "search string" by "replacement" in the file "source.odt", highlights each replacement with a yellow (default) backgound, then
writes the resulting document as "target.odt"
odfhighlight "myfile.odt" "search string" -color "green"
highlights each occurrence of "search string" in "myfile.odt" with a green background color, without changing the text (without "-o"
option, the changes apply to "myfile.odt"
ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS
Default behaviour
With the "minimal" command line, with only a filename and a string as arguments, each matching string is highlighted with a yellow
background and represented with the "Standard" style.
Options
-e --encoding "xxxxxx"
character set to use, if different from the default
-r --replacement "new string"
"new string" is used as a replacement for "search string"
-c --color "code"
an RGB color code, expressed either as the concatenation of
3 comma-separated decimal values (each one in the range
0..255, ex: "72,61,139" for a dark slate blue), or a 6-digit
hexadecimal number, preceded by a "#" (ex: #00ff00 for green)
or, if a colormap is available and known in your
OpenOffice::OODoc installation, a symbolic color name (ex:
"sky blue")
-s --stylename "name"
the name of the color style (default: "MyHighlight"); the
user must provide a style name that is not already in use
in the document
-p --property "property=value"
This option can be repeated; each occurrence gives an
additional property for the highlight style (font name, size,
foreground color, ...). For example, with the combination of
-p 'fo:color=#ff0000' and -p 'fo:font-size=18pt', the
highlighted text will be made of 18pt-sized, red characters.
In order to master these options, you should have some
knowledge of the Form Objects (FO) vocabulary that is used
in the OpenDocument specification.
-o --output "filename"
-t --target "filename"
an alternative filename to save the modified document, when
the source document must remain unchanged
