Cisco devices, running config and start up config compare

Is it possible to do a compare of the two and only see changes that have occurred?

We recently experienced  an incident were some switches did not have a current wr mem on them. They lost power and when restarted had very old configs on them.

It took several hours to recover as the old configs were not available.

Today I used the canned activity to compare the files and most had errors due to text that can be ignored.
