Keep using beyond compare, but it is not available in my new environment, i am trying WinMerge but i have an error when i try to compare two big text files , 170 Mo for each file.
i know there is only 5 or 6 different lines in this files.
The message given correspond to the Error code :
#: Merge.rc:2421
#, c-format
msgid "An error occurred while comparing the files."
msgstr "Erreur lors de la comparaison des fichiers."
I'm using the last 2.14.0 version
1.Can this issue be resolved?
2.If no, any alternative software?

One option is to use Eclipse to perform the comparation:
1.Copy the file/folder you want to compare into workspace of Eclipse.
2.Select the file/folder you want to compare
3.
CTRL+3
or
Type in Compare with other resource in "Quick Access" lineditor in right corner.
4.Select the target
When #4, Actually you can modify the source you selected, so For #1,#2, can just randomly select some file in your project.
You can also achieve this by select two items, right click-> Compare with-> Each other

I need a custom Rich-Edit control for making a text processing application. It must be Open-Source so that I can add my own feature. The windows default Rich-Edit controls are buggy for me cause I'm using my own font ( Bangla Font ). I've used all version of windows Rich-Edit but none those works well for me.
So now I need an owner drawn Rich-Edit control which must be Open-Source and also should include all the features of windows rich edit control.
I've searched on Google but have not found any useful.
If anybody know, Please give me the website link.
Take a look at Scintilla
It's Open Source and Notepad++ uses it.
EDIT: since Scintilla isn't really made for that kind of rich edit you could download Open Office's source code and find out how they do it.

I am looking for a API/web service for me to retrieve a list of landmarks, points of interest (and their GPS coordinates) near a given city. I tried google places including the query Place Search and type point_of_interest, but the results do not seem satisfactory.
For example, to Paris, I need an answer:
Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, ...
What would you advise me to find such information.
A couple options:
Foursquare Venues Platform
Factual Places API
Google places has the flag "point_of_interest" but only to show, not for search (see Table 2 in https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/supported_types)
Google Earth on the other hand has what you need. See the icons for Tourist destination, Monument and Historical Place in https://support.google.com/earth/answer/180709?hl=en#what
However I am not sure if there is an API for this data, or if you need to find a way to extract it from GE.

I'm needing to do some screen layout proposals, and really like the look of the pictures used in Joel's Mercurial tutorial, example here:
http://hginit.com/01.html
Can someone enlighten me on what tool(s) will generate this kind of output?
I guess a related question would be if people have a favorite screen mock up tool? It's not a requirement for me that the mockup be "functional".
Thanks!
Mike
It looks like balsamiq to me; the Comic Sans is a dead giveaway...
Edit: I’ve used balsamiq for screen mock-ups, and it’s very good. The only downside is that it is not free. And it uses Comic sans! ;)
I agree with Sébastien, but would like to point out that Pencil might enable you to produce similar-looking mockups.
this looks like toolbar buttons used in the command line window
it took me a sec to realize you have to set the window widget's properties to display the buttons as shown to get them to show up

I am building an RSS Reader. Some of the existing ones out there (for example, Pulse News for iPhone/iPad) have a search box where you can search for some term (example - "sports") and it will return a list of feeds that match your search criteria. So in this example, you type in "sports", and it searches and then comes back with ESPN.com's news feed, Yahoo! Sports' news feed, etc. etc.
What search engine does that? I've looked at Syndic8.com and it was kind of crap compared to whatever Pulse is using. If you search for "sports" it returns feeds I've never even heard of from obscure sites.
Thank you!
You can have a look a the google feed api and espacially: https://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/reference.html#findFeeds
2017 Answer here.
There's a service called Pine (which I run) that aggregate Blog RSS and JSON feeds, and it has a free API.

Is there any API to get path : "C:\Documents and Settings" in windows in c++?
not: C:\Documents and Settings\brianfu\My Documents.
Many Thanks!
Thanks for luke's solution:
GetProfilesDirectory
it works!
GetProfilesDirectory
Prior to Windows Vista, this can be retrieve via GetProfilesDirectory().
In Windows Vista+, this can be done via the SHGetKnownFolderIDList() and SHGetKnownFolderPath() functions using the FOLDERID_UserProfiles KNOWNFOLDERID constant.
Get the home path (%HOMEPATH% environment variable), and then go one folder up (removing the user name).
It's available via the ProfilesDirectory key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
(Note that on Win7 (and Vista?) this will be C:\Users not C:\Documents and Settings.
