Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Usage

(require-extension format-textdiff)

Documentation

This library defines the textdiff procedure, which produces a diff script for two SRFI-43 vectors containing strings, and provides a formatting procedure for several formats commonly supported by diff(1).

Procedures

[procedure] textdiff:: TEXT1 TEXT2 [CONTEXT] -> (HUNK ... )

Text diff procedure;

See the npdiff library documentation for a detailed description of the HUNK data type.

[procedure] make-format-textdiff:: TYPE -> FORMAT-PROC

returns a hunk formatter procedure of the specified types; the following formats are supported:

'ed
ed(1) script
'normal
normal diff format
'rcs
rcs(1) diff script
'context
context diff format

Each hunk formatter procedure is of the form LAMBDA OUT-PORT HUNK-LIST, except for the context formatter, which is of the form LAMBDA OUT-PORT HUNK-LIST FNAME1 TSTAMP1 FNAME2 TSTAMP2, where the timestamp and filename arguments are strings. Please see the diff(1) manual for a detailed description of each format.

[procedure] textdiff->sexp:: (HUNK ... ) -> (SEXP ...)

converts a list of hunks to a list of s-expressions suitable for input to the apply-patch procedure of the patch egg.

Examples

 
(require-extension npdiff)
(require-extension format-textdiff)

(define t1 (open-input-file "file0"))
(define text1 (read-lines t1))
(define t2 (open-input-file "file1"))
(define text2 (read-lines t2))
(define hunks (textdiff text1 text2 3))

(define format make-format-textdiff)

((format 'ed) (current-output-port) hunks)
((format 'normal) (current-output-port) hunks)
((format 'rcs) (current-output-port) hunks)
((format 'context) (current-output-port) hunks 
 "file0" "Sun Jun  3 18:28:06 2007" 
 "file1" "Sun Jun  3 18:28:06 2007")

(require-extension patch)

(define sexp (textdiff->sexp hunks))
(with-input-from-port (open-input-file "file0")
  (lambda () (with-output-to-port (open-output-file "file1.new")
       (lambda () (apply-patch sexp)))))
