hi, thanks for the quick answer.
Yes, I know about the tile function, but having in mind the way that for example
WinMerge automatically inserts "space" between lines to shift the next line down
to the next match, I was wondering if some of that manual line resync bit could
be automated. These files often have several hundreds of lines in them...

Regards,
Leeteq
