Determine number of lines or characters changed

[finkelm]

At certain times I just want to have the number of lines added and deleted, rather than a visual diff output. I can't seem to find a method to give me access to this information - it seems the only way is to regex the output to determine this by using each on ever new line . Am I wrong? It seems as if this would be a nice feature to have, even if diffy is more intended for visual output.

Currently diffy doesn't do this, though I agree it would be a nice feature. The best approach would be using the Diffy::Diff#each or Diffy::Diff#injectto do the totals, like you suggest. If you or someone would like to add this functionality I'd be happy to review a PR.

Thanks!
