Hello forum.

I have two directories that I compare, and where there are matching filenames it shows me if they are the same, newer, older and so on.

Is it possible, from a list in the directory comparison, to generate some report that shows me the actual line by line difference for each file in the directory comparison list?

regards,
Casman.

There is a way do this but it involves command line. The appropriate options are:

Code: Select all

/o:file      output diff results into a file 'file' (or to standard output if '-' is specified) and exit

/f          report file differences during directory comparison (used with /o option and with full file comparison, i.e. without any "consider" options)

Thanks heaps!.

I'll give it a go.

Might be a good suggestion for a future enhancement to generate the report as a menu option instead of the command line.
