View Full Version : Compare Rpt - DELETE & INSERT vs. L & R


09-Jan-2004, 03:00 PM
On a comparison report, is it possible to see:

unchanged lines
unchanged lines
INSERT Inserted line...
DELETE Deleted line...
unchanged lines
DELETE Line before it was modified
INSERT Line after it was modified

You've got a great product, but people reviewing reports on paper have to think if the L line is the old file or the new file.

If I could tell the software which file is the old file and which one is the new file, I'd rather see:

INSERT
DELETE

instead of:

L
R

I'm guessing that this isn't possible since I couldn't find it and no one has replied.

Is this a new feature that Scooter Software would consider adding?

Sorry, we've been pretty swamped with 2.1 stuff.

It's not something that's possible right now, but we're certainly willing to consider it. I'll add it to the wishlist.

Steve, if you need to do this often, it would be worth your time to write a little AWK script (which would probably be only about 3-5 lines long) to convert a BC diff report to the format which you desire.

There's an excellent free AWK (MAWK for Win32) available at: http://www.klabaster.com/freeware.htm
