Now, let's see how file comparison in Notepad++ works. This is especially handy while doing revisions in your code, checking multiple versions of the same files, comparing lists, comparing the same resources you have downloaded from different sources, writing articles or updating posts on your blog. One of the highly useful editing tasks that you can do on Notepad++ (thanks to a great plugin) is to compare the contents of two files side by side, with the click of a button, as long as they are text based and can be opened by Notepad++. You can think of it like a much improved version of the basic Notepad application on Windows or the TextEdit on Mac. With Notepad++, you can create any type of text-based files, edit HTML files, edit CSS files and work on other programming related tasks.
Although it's not a WYSIWYG web design software, it can still be considered as a web design software since you can use it for any type of design, coding and development related work such as writing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, ASP code and others. Plugin -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin ManagerĢ.Notepad++ is a widely used text editor (source code editor) software that is available in multiple languages. So first enable the plugin manager as asked by question here, Then follow this step to compare 2 files which is free in this software. I give the answer because I need to compare 2 files in notepad++ and there is no option available. But this method (answer) is still valid for adding plugins manually for almost any Notepad++ plugins.ĭisclaimer: the link of this guideline refer to my personal web site. Thanks to with this update: Notepad++ Now has " Plugin Admin" as a replacement for the old Plugin Manager. dll fileģ2bit: %programfiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins It is also possible to drag and drop the plugin. The plugin should appear under Plugins menu.Import plugin from the temporary folder.Unzip Compare-plugin in temporary folder.Press F1 to find out if your Notepad++ is 64bit or 32bit (86x), hence you need to download the correct plugin version.Start your Notepad++ as administrator mode.
So Keep in mind, if you use 64 bit version of Notepad++, you should also use 64 bit version of plugin, and the same valid for 32bit. And YES it matters if you use 64bit or 32bit (86x).
You have to download and install plugins manually. Notepad++ 7.5 and newer versions does not have plugin manager. I use Compare plugin 2 for notepad++ 7.5 and newer versions.
