Comparison of modules

Is there any way to automatically compare line-by-line the contents of two
modules from two different workbooks, in a way similar to the document
comparison functions within word processors?

I feel silly responding to my own post. But I just realized that I can
export the modules and then compare them within the word processor. Is there
any way of doing it without exiting Excel?

You could export the modules from VBA, and then read them back in as text
files, comparing as you go. The problem with that is knowing when a fatal
mis-match occurs, you would have to code all of that. Other programs tend to
already have that sort of comparison facility built-in (I use Textpad).

Lon,
Whilst it does not compare the text directly, this add-on is useful:
http://www.mztools.com/

Also, TextPad has an ASP syntax file that you could extend to cover you
needs in VB/VBA:

You can also get a VB syntax file, and it would be no great difficulty to
extend that for VBA/Excel.

Hi Nick,

I have 4,

http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/vb.zip

http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/vb5.zip

http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/svb.zip

http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/visual_basic.zip

The last is VB6 specific.

They even have VB.Net and VBScript syntax files.

Sorry, that was my typo, I had to type them as downloads have no URL to
copy.
