Windows GUI diff software with masking capability?

I've done some googling, and so far I haven't found what I'm looking for. We have created a standard router template for all of our remote campus routers. What I'd like to be able to do is compare the router template with the config from a router. The issue is that there are going to be a number of items such IP addresses, hostnames, etc. that will be different between the two configuration files. What I would like is the ability to "mask out" these differences in the router template, so differences in configuration will more easily stand out. Does such a program exist? For example: Remote router: Router Template: version 12.3 no service pad ----------------- service tcp-keepalives-ou service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone service timestamps log datetime msec show-timezone service password-encryption ...... no ip dhcp use ip dhcp excluded-address 10.159.1.100 10.159.1.254 ip dhcp excluded-address 10.159.65.200 10.159.65.254 version 12.4 no service pad service tcp-keepalives-in service tcp-keepalives-out service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone service timestamps log datetime msec show-timezone service password-encryption ... no ip dhcp use vrf connected ip dhcp excluded-address xx.xxx.x.xxx xx.xxx.x.xxx ip dhcp excluded-address xx.xxx.xx.xxx xx.xxx.xx.xxx Thanks.
