Kurt,

Look at the source code in hex....

I bet you have the CRLF in different places...

I happen to use a 3rd party tool called "BEYOND COMAPRE" at
http://www.scootersoftware.com/

About $30 bucks, not bad!

I have ran into this before. I usually resave the source to trim the
trailing spaces.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Comparing source

I like to use the "Compare With - Each Other" option. Unfortunately, what
almost always happens is that every line is different because one source it
sees as having all the trailing blanks trimmed, and the other does not. I
have the preferences set to ignore leading, trailing, and "all" blanks, but
this still happens.

Preferences:

Compare result (note line 21 on the 2nd source isn't showing the */, but
that's because it's off my screen) http://i.imgur.com/agIWJAQ.jpg

Any thoughts?

-Kurt
