In using Beyond Compare to test development related to integration files which are fixed format ASCII we noted that it would be very helpful to be able to show the entire data line but to be able to specify beginning and ending column numbers (or highlight a portion of the line to define them) and then only to consider differences within that column as differences on the compare. This would allow you to quickly identify differences in the particular field(s) that were contained within those columns.
Just wondering if this would be useful to others or if there is some reasonable way to accomplish this within Beyond Compare now and we just haven't found it yet.
