insert column example for ssdiff

command

In this example, we compare two tables as follows:

 ssdiff named_numbers.csv named_numbers_wide.csv
 ssdiff --format hilite --output diff.xls named_numbers.csv named_numbers_wide.csv

The two tables are:

• named_numbers.csv
• named_numbers_wide.csv

The result of comparing the tables are:

• tdiff output (textual comparision)
• highlighter output (visual comparision)
