We are trying to compare 2 Microsoft Excel .xls files using the C#.NET Beyond Compare utility wrapper (http://beyondcompare.codeplex.com/) for BeyondCompare v3.2.4. The C# code calls the following command and returns the DOS error level on exit:
BComp.exe /quickcompare /ignoreunimportant filepath1.xls filepath2.xls
This returns BinaryDifference (Error level 11), even though the data in the 2 excel files is the same.
When running using the Beyond Compare GUI, we are able to get a successful match for the 2 files if we use the “Data Compare” setting. Is there a way to do the Data Compare through the command-line without displaying the user-interface?
(We tried BComp.exe /fileviewer=”Data Compare” filepath1.xls filepath2.xls, but this causes our program to hang without returning the error level.)
Thanks.
