How to differ a string with a text file
 
Dear all

I have a string with 10 lines and would like to differ it with a text file. Should I read it line by line, trim and differ or is there any simple solution?

thanks beforehane

the tool diff is able to accept input from stdin, so:
echo $STRING | diff - textfile
can work
