I just wondered if anyone had any tricks or programs they used when comparing two of the same file but different versions?I appear to have foolishly made a modification at some point today (Went a few hours without running any tests) and it has stopped the whole project working - without throwing up any errors so it must be subtle whatever I have done.I just thought that there must be a program out there that might highlight differences etc.Otherwise, a step by step search might be in order!

Are you familiar with diff tools? Tools such as KDiff, WinDiff, BeyondCompare... they will all compare files and highlight differences. What IDE are you using? Some IDEs (such as Eclipse) have integrated diff tools. Some version control tools also have built-in diff tools (MKS comes to mind). For quick-and-dirty compares, I use Notepad++ which has a comparison plugin. It's a great and free general purpose text editor and the compare can be done on two buffers, you don't even have to load files so it's as simple as copying and pasting two versions of the file in question!
