Subject: Function to parse a "diff" command line to load both files into buffers and ediff them
Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 17:15:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B8D164BED956C5439875951895CB4B226CE98F70@CAFRFD1MSGUSRJH.ITServices.sbc.com> (raw)
Quite often I find myself in a situation where I have a "diff" command that was run in a shell buffer, and I want to "transfer" that into ediff, by simply loading both of the files specified on the diff command line and then running ediff to compare them. I could probably do this with a keyboard macro, but this just seems like something that someone must have thought of doing before. I tried paging through the many functions that begin with "ediff-", but I didn't see anything that sounds like what I describe. I'm using version "2.81.5".
