Documenting Whole firectory trees

[rvlahov]

I have ExamDiffPro. Been using it for over 1 year and it's a great product.

I now need to document(in a text file) the difference in code between 2 versions of code.

When going through the directories the only report I seem to be able to get is one that list "Identical" along with the differences. Is there any way to just get the diffs.

Then when I compare the diff on each file the Unix report is absolutely fine. However when doing this with hundreds of files it is very tedious. The report only gives me the actual diff in the files. I then copy and paste them to a separate document. Then I need to hand type in the location of the file, and then put in some marker indicating then end of this file diff and the start of another.

Is there a way to automatically go through a directory making note of just the diffs in the directory and/or then going through the file and listing a heading then the diffs of each file.

I currently do this one file at a time with much manual intervention. Your guidance would be very appreciated.

Use the view filter and enable the following: Options | Misc | Use View Filter when text diff file is saved.

See the following topic: Can I recursively generate file level diffs?

Thank you. Will start "playing" with that now.

Still having a problem getting this command to work:

E:\Backup>"E:\Program Files\ExamDiff Pro\ExamDiff.exe" /f /o:test.txt // e:\backup\dir1 e:\backup\dir2


It compares the directories but does not go into the files.


Thank you for looking.

Make sure that you turn on "Perform full file comparison" under Options | Dir Comparison prior to running this command.
