I had previously mentioned that this project was attempted already in
my email at [*1*]. Did you take a look at the thread I linked to
there, and the regex used? I still feel like that previous experience
is something you could learn from.
But that said, I think your assumption in the other email that the
output should be
[-$TEST_DIRECTORY-]
{+$TEST_DIR+}
might not be correct. The tests are using 'git diff
--word-diff=color', rather than 'git diff --word-diff=plain'. Only
the latter would add the [- -] and {+ +} around the changed words,
while the former adds the color, which the tests are testing for.
