How made not important permutation?

[rno]

Hello,

How can made test permutation not important?
I compare Java sources which look like:

if (null == blabla)

versus

if (blabla == null)

I'd like to saw that kind of code similar.

Regards,

Hello,

If you have BC3 Pro, you can make a Text Replacement that will determine that this specific case is Unimportant.
So, when (null == blabla) = (blabla == null), then mark the text as unimportant.
This is done in the Text Compare Session menu -> Session Settings -> Misc tab.

BC3 Std can define the text as Unimportant. This would mark (null == blabla) as unimportant, regardless of what it aligns to. However, the aligned text will still detect as a difference unless, it, too, is unimportant.
Here is a KB article on the subject:

How does that work for you? Let us know if you have any questions.

The specific replacement values you should use are:

Text to find: \((\w+) == (\w+)\)
Replace with: ($2 == $1)
[ ] Match character case
[ ] Whole words only
[x] Regular expression
(x) Left ( ) Right

That will allow you to ignore any case where the two values (identifiers/numbers/constants) have been swapped.
