windows 10 (64 bit)

Emacs 26.1, Dired+

I need tool that can compare files by content with highlight different symbols.

Example:

enter image description here

As you can see I mark two files. Is it possible to compare this files in dired mode? Smt like press C-c and compare only mark files.

    Are you looking for a tool outside Emacs or an Emacs command or library that will do this? If the former then the question is off topic here. Either way, the question is very broad - what exactly do you need from such a tool? What have you tried, and how did it not do what you want? – Drew Jul 14 '19 at 14:01

  • Too vague. If you want useful help then it's up to you to make clear what behavior you're looking for. It's not up to those trying to help you to guess and then have you say, *"No, that's not it"*, *"`ediff` isn't comfortable enough"*, etc. You might have more luck with the kind of broad request you're making on a site like Reddit. – Drew Jul 14 '19 at 14:41
  • You've changed the question completely. Now it's about Dired. Please delete this question and post a new one for what you want. Be specific. – Drew Jul 14 '19 at 14:59

Comparing Files - GNU Emacs Manual:

If you have no diff command installed then see this:

You've changed the question to now be about using Dired. So existing answers no longer apply. That's not how it works on Stack Exchange.

Anyway, to help you out, in Dired you can use dired-diff to do what you want. If you use Dired+ then you can also use diredp-ediff (bound to =).
