i often need to see diffs of "log files" which are full of differences that are just differences of numbers that i usually don't care about. i have dealt with this in a lot of cases by changing digits to a common character such as by doing
tr 123456789 000000000
to make new files to actually be compared. but there is still the problem of numbers of differing length (number of digits). so what i would like to have is a special diff program that would treat different numbers as being the same. my usual focus is to find inserted or deleted lines among many that have numbers in the same places with different values, such as dates.
