How to compare two files with lines out of order?

Post by zoran123 »

Hi there,

I would like to compare two report files that could have identical lines out of order (shuffled). From my point of view, the two files would be identical if they contain the same lines regardless of the line order. Is it possible to compare such files in ExamDiff Pro in the way I described?

Regards,
Zoran

Yes, use the Sort plug-in. See http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_tutorial_adv1.asp for a similar example.
