Doesn't the epatch part of ediff already take this into account by allowing you to patch the file temporarily and then bring up ediff to allow you to walk through and accept each of the diffs? Plus, could you use ediff-diff?-options to tell diff to ignore whitespace differences (via '-w')? -- David Masterson David DOT Masterson AT synopsys DOT com Sr. R&D Engineer Synopsys, Inc.
