Hello,

I hope I'm not missing something dumb, but I can't seem to get a simple redirect of wdiff inside a shell script to output the start and end markers of the changed sections. Works great from the command line, but the same command in a script doesn't. Example:

  testbox[/]#  wdiff file1 file2 > cmdout
  testbox[/]#  cat cmdout
  one
  [-two-]
  three
  [-four-]
  {+five+}

Same command inside this simple script:

  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/local/bin/wdiff /file1 /file2 > /scriptout

Produces the following output file:

   testbox[/]#  cat scriptout
   one
   three
   five

I'm at a loss. I've tried the various available switches (-w -x, etc... -t, -p) all with no luck. Running wdiff 0.6.5 and diff 2.8.7 on FreeBSD 8.1.

Any ideas?
Thanks
-S
