Any help appreciated!

Have a look at my plugin:

The README.md has an example of that.

Check into the NarrowRegion plugin by Christian Brabandt
(https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3075). I haven't used
it to do what you're asking for, but it seems to me that this plugin
might help you. Its worth a try, anyway.

This is currently not possible. And it would be more than a bit of work
to implement. At the same time, it can be very useful to be able to
diff while ignoring some text.

A first idea would be to define a pattern, replace the matched text with
spaces, create the diff, then undo the replacement. Perhaps also
highlight the ignored text. Optionally this would work the other way:
replace the not-matched text with spaces.

VimDIFF - ONLY on the first field of two files ?

People,

I live in vim and therefore use vimdiff most of the time for my needs
but I have a use case where I only want to diff on the FIRST field of
two files ie the files have lines that look like:

[dir|file]name | [D|F] | mtime

and I need to be able to have vimdiff only working on the [dir|file]name
and ignore the rest of the line - is this possible somehow?

Thanks,

Phil.
