Full expand to a text file

[faf1967]

I need to generate two reports. 1st report would show every file in a folder line by line showing they match up and one where only the left is new\ or orphaned. I have attached screenshots.


However I can't get a report to generate comparing every file. or a report showing just the differences.



The 2nd report would show only the differences. I have tried to add the expand all and "expand-all" between the criteria and load statements and it does nto work.

"C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\bcomp.exe" "@\\\15.121.64.205\CompassFiles\!_Beyond_Compa re_r eports\!_Beyond_Compare_Script_Files\1Compliance_B eyond_Compare.txt"



My command file contains the following

criteria binary
load "\\servername1\share\folder" "\\servername2\share\folder"
file-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all output-to:"\\servername1\share\!_Beyond_Compare_reports\ F older1_Beyond_Compare_Report.txt"

The file report command operates on selected files. Try the following updates to your script:

Report all lines in all files:

load "\\servername1\share\folder" "\\servername2\share\folder"
expand all
select all.files
file-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all output-to:"\\servername1\share\!_Beyond_Compare_reports\Folder1_Beyond_Compare_Report.txt"

Report different lines in different files:

criteria rules-based
load "\\servername1\share\folder" "\\servername2\share\folder"
expand all
select diff.files orphan.files
file-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all output-to:"\\servername1\share\!_Beyond_Compare_reports\Folder1_Beyond_Compare_Report_diff.txt"

Thank you...

I noticed an error in my second example script. What I posted above will include all lines in files that are different. To only show different lines in files that are different, use the script below.

criteria rules-based
load "\\servername1\share\folder" "\\servername2\share\folder"
expand all
select diff.files orphan.files
file-report layout:side-by-side options:ignore-unimportant,display-mismatches output-to:"\\servername1\share\!_Beyond_Compare_reports\F older1_Beyond_Compare_Report_diff.txt"
