Hi,

I was wondering on how I should use a diff file to patch a module using the command line.

I've looked in the documentation and I found a definition of a .diff file, but I'm not sure how to use them.

See: http://drupal.org/node/499826

Thanks.

This is the page I read, but it doesn't refer to .diff files. Can I use the patch command on a diff file? I tried but it hanged.

Thanks.

If by 'diff file' you mean a patch created by the diff utility, yes, you can follow the same instructions. Make sure the text format of the files are the same (ie both *nix format or both windows format).
