Compare text files in Flex

Is there a utility or thirdparty library out there to compare two text files in flex. Assuming that, I have loaded two different text files using the 'FileReference', and now I want to compare the contents of these two. Similar to the SVN diff, I want to find out the edited/added/deleted content for each line.

I have gone through this thread [ Is there a way to compare text files through Flex? ] but it's not answered here.

Thanks,

I think that there's no one, yet.

Given the similarities between as3 and js, a port from one of this two libraries should be straightfoward

I'm pretty sure this link will guide you towards your solution. May have to do some tweaking to work with your feature list, but it should get you 90% of the way there.

I just searched for 'as3 file differential' in Google.
