[R] Comparing/diffing strings

[Hadley Wickham]

Hi all,

all.equal is generally very useful when you want to find the
differences between two objects.  It breaks down however, when you
have two long strings to compare:

> all.equal(a, b)
[1] "1 string mismatch"

Does any one know of any good text diffing tools implemented in R?

Thanks,

Hadley
