I want to compare two or more files and merge the differences as needed. I was using Windows but now working on Ubuntu 12.04.

In windows "Beyond compare" made my work easier, but since I shifted to Linux, I am not able to find any tool or software like beyond compare in windows. Please tell me if you know any. Thank you very much.

    There are comm, join, uniq, diff, sort, grep etc commands available for text-processing (visit man page for more detail). – Pandya Aug 13 '14 at 10:28

fldiff might be what you search. It's in the offical repositories. Install it with:

sudo apt-get install fldiff

Another one is diffuse:

sudo apt-get install diffuse

You can still use Beyond Compare on Linux, they have a Linux port.

Go to http://www.scootersoftware.com/download.php and download one of the debian packages.

Tried it on 14.04; these instructions work just fine. It also works without gdebi, if you sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxft2 libxt6.
