Separate reports for Orphans and Differences in Data-Compare in Scripted BC

[rosarioleon]

Hi Friends,
Using script, while comparing data in two different .xls files , I am trying to get different lines of reports for Left Orphan, Right Orphan and Differences as we can do in manual comparison using Beyond compare UI.
'display-mismatches' in script includes all Orphan and Difference lines in one Lay-out.

• Is there a way to get separate reports for Left Orphan, Right Orphan and Differences in Script?
• Could any one suggest a script for the same?
• If we can not do it in script, any other way to do it?

Thank you,

[Aaron]

Hello,

BC Scripting does not currently support toggled values in the Data-Report command. In the graphical interface, there are populated options in the dropdown, and it can also use the currently set Display Filters (even if they do not match the dropdown). Script is limited to the dropdown options. Expanding our scripting support is on our wishlist. In the interface, you can right click the Display Filters toolbar to switch to Toggles mode for finer control, set the toggles to show only exactly what you need for a specific report (and disable the other toggles of criteria to exclude), then generate the report. How does this work for you?

Hello Aaron,
Thanks for quick response!
I am able to get report from GUI using toggles as you suggested. It will be helpful if we can get the same using script.
Looking for you scripting support on the same in future.
Thanks again.
