Command line script for files

[misi01]

A follow-on question

Is there a parameter I can specify to/in the example above so that the BC script window is never shown ????

Okay - found it. The result I was after was

bc2.exe @bc_script.txt /silent

Thanks Lutz

That did the trick.

Your script should work without the load-command if you replace 'patch-standard' with 'patch-normal'.

I performed a search on "command line script" and couldn't find anything relevant. At the same time, my request is SO trivial, it's obviously doable, but I can't get it to work. My apologies if the answer is out there in front of my face.

I want to be able to run a command line to compare 2 FILES (not folders) and produce a normal diff patch report. My script file is the following

# Turn logging on
log normal "h:\a_shb_rexxcode\Synclog.txt"
#load "h:\mash\mfe\projects\iaib\L38B0500_before.txt" "h:\mash\mfe\projects\iaib\L38B0500_after.txt"
file-report layout:patch options:ignore-unimportant,patch-standard &
            output-to:"h:\a_shb_rexxcode\BC_test_batch_report.txt" &
                      "h:\mash\mfe\projects\iaib\L38B0500_before.txt" &
                      "h:\mash\mfe\projects\iaib\L38B0500_after.txt"

The commented LOAD line is because that didn't work (I'm assuming LOAD is only for folders).
This is SO trivial, I'm obviously missing something - can you help ?
The files L38B0500_xxxxx.txt are obviously the files to be compared.

I should mention that the example above is based on my interpretation of the online help example

Comparing two files by name
