Get list of changes

On this page
GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to get list of changes between source and target documents.
To get list of changes, follow these steps:
- Instantiate the Comparer object. Specify the source document path or stream.
- Call the Add method. Specify the target document path or stream.
- Call the Compare method.
- Call the GetChanges method.
The following code snippets show how to get list of all changes:
using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx"))
{
comparer.Add("target.docx");
comparer.Compare();
ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.GetChanges();
foreach (ChangeInfo change in changes)
Console.WriteLine("Change Type: {0}, Page: {1}, Change ID: {2}, Text: {3}", change.Type, change.PageInfo.PageNumber, change.Id, change.Text);
}
The result is as follows:
using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer(File.OpenRead("source.docx")))
{
comparer.Add(File.OpenRead("target.docx"));
comparer.Compare();
ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.GetChanges();
foreach (ChangeInfo change in changes)
Console.WriteLine("Change Type: {0}, Page: {1}, Change ID: {2}, Text: {3}", change.Type, change.PageInfo.PageNumber, change.Id, change.Text);
}
