Hi Tony,
Specifically, I need to match lines completely ignore partial differences.
I have the most recent version of vim with a diff utility, however I do not
see anything diff.txt or diffopt that allows me to specify matches must be
complete lines and not partial.

I am trying to compare collections of strings, where I am not interested in
similar items, only exact. The collections are sorted so I want to see
filler where an exact line match is not found.

Thanks.
