Output of patch

File1:

1;1
2;2
3;3

File2

2;3
3;3
4;4

"Diff" will produce:

1,2c1
< 1;1
< 2;2
---
> 2;3
3a3
> 4;4

and the usage of "patch" would lead to

2;3
3;3
4;4

Is there any possibility to display the deleted lines (1;1) too? Is it possible to add a prefix to any line appearing in the patch file as

(DEL-1;1)
UPD-2;3
UNC-3;3
INS-4;4

and the usage of standard tools?

Many thanks in advance

I think unified diff format diff -u, will give you the information you want.
