Create new text compare rule

[mef526]

Can I create a new text compare rule?

I have a lot of files that use typedef, for example: "float32" and "Float32"
I want to ignore compare failures to "float"
Similar rule for int and int32 | int 64
I tried to create a regex in grammar to do this but there was no way to set tag for beginning fog word or end of word (VS2010 uses "<" and ">").
In any case what I did didn't work.

Is there a way I can set a text comparison failure to be ignored?

It might help to read the tutorial on marking text unimportant here:

In addition to Chris' comments, it sounds like you may also find our BC3 Pro feature Text Replacements useful. This would allow you to define specific rules such as
"int32" = "int 64"

Defining the Text as Unimportant should also work as well. You just need to define the grammar to match on "int32", and then mark that grammar as unimportant.
