Extract the difference between two strings in Java

Hi I have two strings :

    String hear = "Hi My name is Deepak"
            + "\n"
            + "How are you ?"
            + "\n"
            + "\n"
            + "How is everyone";
    String dear = "Hi My name is Deepak"
            + "\n"
            + "How are you ?"
            + "\n"
            + "Hey there \n"
            + "How is everyone";

I want to get what is not present in the hear string that is "Hey There \n". I found a method , but it fails for this case :

static String strDiffChop(String s1, String s2) {
    if (s1.length() > s2.length()) {
        return s1.substring(s2.length() - 1);
    } else if (s2.length() > s1.length()) {
        return s2.substring(s1.length() - 1);
    } else {
        return "";
    }
}

Can any one help ?

The Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain text.

Diff:

Compare two blocks of plain text and efficiently return a list of differences.

Match:

Given a search string, find its best fuzzy match in a block of plain text. Weighted for both accuracy and location.

Patch:

Apply a list of patches onto plain text. Use best-effort to apply patch even when the underlying text doesn't match.

Currently available in Java, JavaScript, Dart, C++, C#, Objective C, Lua and Python. Regardless of language, each library features the same API and the same functionality. All versions also have comprehensive test harnesses.

There is a Line or word diffs wiki page which describes how to do line-by-line diffs.

One can use the StringUtils from Apache Commons. Here is the StringUtils API.

public static String difference(String str1, String str2) {
    if (str1 == null) {
        return str2;
    }
    if (str2 == null) {
        return str1;
    }
    int at = indexOfDifference(str1, str2);
    if (at == -1) {
        return EMPTY;
    }
 return str2.substring(at);
}
public static int indexOfDifference(String str1, String str2) {
    if (str1 == str2) {
        return -1;
    }
    if (str1 == null || str2 == null) {
        return 0;
    }
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < str1.length() && i < str2.length(); ++i) {
        if (str1.charAt(i) != str2.charAt(i)) {
            break;
        }
    }
    if (i < str2.length() || i < str1.length()) {
        return i;
    }
    return -1;
}

I have used the StringTokenizer to find the solution. Below is the code snippet

public static List<String> findNotMatching(String sourceStr, String anotherStr){
    StringTokenizer at = new StringTokenizer(sourceStr, " ");
    StringTokenizer bt = null;
    int i = 0, token_count = 0;
    String token = null;
    boolean flag = false;
    List<String> missingWords = new ArrayList<String>();
    while (at.hasMoreTokens()) {
        token = at.nextToken();
        bt = new StringTokenizer(anotherStr, " ");
        token_count = bt.countTokens();
        while (i < token_count) {
            String s = bt.nextToken();
            if (token.equals(s)) {
                flag = true;
                break;
            } else {
                flag = false;
            }
            i++;
        }
        i = 0;
        if (flag == false)
            missingWords.add(token);
    }
    return missingWords;
}
