ignore cvs keywords

[trevezel]

When comparing source code that has embedded rcs/cvs keywords, it would be great if BeyondCompare could be configured to ignore any differences in these (expanded) keywords.

Why not modify your rules for the file type(s) you are comparing. Use the "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Rules" menu sequence and select your file type. "Edit" the settings and add a regular expression on the "Importance" tab to ignore CVS/RCS tags.

The following should work:

(?i)\$((id)|(log)):.+\$

Just add other keywords you encounter.

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for that.. I hadn't thought of doing it that way.

Cheers,

David
