How to do find differences between 2 XML Files?
Hello All,

Requirement is to compare 2 XML files and see if there are any differences but from some of the providers We are receiving UTF-16 formatted XML file with no end of line as shown below.

Excerpt of data file:
Code:
ÿþ<^@?^@x^@m^@l^@ ^@v^@e^@r^@s^@i^@o^@n^@=^@"^@1^@.^@0^@"^@ ^@e^@n^@c^@o^@d^@i^@n^@g^@=^@"^@U^@T^@F^@-^@1^@6^@"^@ ^@?^@>^@<^@P^@r^@o^@v^@i^@d^@e^@r^@ ^@x^^@l^@n^@s^@=^@"^@h^@t^@t^@p^@:^@/^@/^@w^@w^@w^@.^@f^@c^@a^@.^@g^@o^@v^@/^@F^@C^@S^@L^@o^@a^@n^@s^@"^@ ^@x^@m^@l^@n^@s^@:^@x^@s^@i^@=^@"^@h^@t^@t^@p^@:^@/^@/^@w^@w^@w^@.^@w^@3^@.^@o^@r^@g^@/^@2^@0^@0^@1^@/^@X^@M^@L^@S^@c^@h^@e^@m^@a^@-^@i^@n^@s^@t^@a^@n^@c^@e^@"^@

2014-03-31_17_V2.5.XML [readonly][noeol][converted] 2L, 18676154C


I used iconv command to convert this file to UTF-8 formatted file.
Now i can see the data in the XML file visible to human eyes but everything is coming out as a single line.

Code:
wc -l 2014-03-31_17_V2.5.XML.utf8
	1 2014-03-31_17_V2.5.XML.utf8

How could i put of end of lines after each XML tag?

once i align the XML tags in my data file with end of line characters, then i want to do DIFF between two XML files to find the differences. please help.


Thank you.
