I made script comparing as built files

[hb.sagen]

Or more specifically, ChatGPT did. It takes a couple of .ab files as input, and compares them to the first .ab file you input. It outputs the result to screen and a "exctraced_codes.txt". I apologize to any coders this vibe code may offend, but I am not a coder.

I use it to compare the Norwegian builds to the rest.

Use:
python3 compare_codes.py 1FTVW1EL9PWG30720.ab 1FTVW1EL0PWG18715.ab 1FTVW1EVXNWG01645.ab

Sample output:

# This is the VIN extracted from the files, in order of input files
Original: 1FTVW1EL9PWG30720
New 1: 1FTVW1EL0PWG18715
New 2: 1FTVW1EVXNWG01645

There is another pretty good program that does this as well - it can input up to 4 AB files and highlight differences. And they can either be .ab files from Ford or .abt module files from Forscan. I have used it numerous times.
