Doesn't work with node.js about google-diff-match-patch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just delete the last six lines of diff_match_patch_uncompressed.js and it will 
work fine (since it's server-side there's no advantage to using the illegible 
compressed version).

I'll wrap those lines in an if statement that checks for window and update the 
file shortly.

Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me. I did manage to get that part working.

Question? How do I use this with Node's require statement? 

if I create a simple node script:

var dmp = require("./diff_match_patch_uncompressed.js");
console.log(dmp);
var differ = new dmp();

When trying to run it I get:

TypeError: object is not a function
    at Object.CALL_NON_FUNCTION_AS_CONSTRUCTOR (native)


dmp logs as an empty object. I am fairly new to node, but I believe the problem 
is with the file not having exports or the functions defined as this.foo = 
function () { blah; }.

Any help would be great. Thanks so much!

I'm afraid I've never used node.js and have no insights as to what's wrong.  
Check with the node.js community.

But do report back what you find so that the next person doesn't have to 
stumble through the same issues.

Should be fixed now.  Simply changed 'window' to 'this'.
