Hi,

I like to compare two files but not the first 6 bytes (that contains row number) on each line.
I know I could manage this from the application itself (GUI based), but can I kick it off from the command line?

ExamDiff c:\temp\a.txt c:\temp\b.txt /?

I've seam that there are some options that could be added as params at the end of the (above) line command...but what should I use in order to skip the compare of position 1-6?

Best regards,

you could set
^......
in the compare options in the field "parts matching regular expression".

Don't know whether you can set this on the command line ...

You can't set this option via the command line but you can set in in the GUI, and it will be remembered when you run the program. Or save your options to a named session, and use the /se option.

Thanks .

I've saved a session file with the options I wanted...and added /sf:c:\test.edpi to the command, and it worked the way I wanted it to work. Is the /se option a better or faster way to achive the same result? I didn't really understand the differens.

Best regards,

/se may be slightly faster but not by much. It reads from the Registry, not from file (like /sf)
