Compare list of specific folders

[Indisent]

Hi Everyone,

I was searching but did not find my specific question. Here is what i'd like to do.

I have a bunch of user folders on ServerA and i've copied those folders to ServerB.

Server A and and Sever B for example have folders...USER1 - User 100. I would only like to compare Folders .. User 55 - User 95 ...that's just an example.

The folders are not in any kind of consecutive order..they are named by user initials then a 4 digit #. Is there a way for me to easily say i want to only compare this specific list of folders? I have a text file with the names of all the folders in it, could i do some sort of script to tell it to only compare folders that match those in my text file? How would i do that? I'm no script guru.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Are the folder names constant and you are looking for a quick way to Include only them? You can use our graphical interface and load the Folder Compare session. You can select the folders you do not want to include, right-click and select Exclude.

Alternatively, you can select the folders you *want* to include and select Exclude. Then go to the Session menu -> Session Settings, Name Filters tab. Those folders will appear as a list here; cut and paste from the Exclude section into the Include section to quickly create an Include name filter.

You can also use File Masks (FolderName*\), depending on the specific folders you want to include/exclude.

Did you need to perform these steps in script? The script command Filter can use the same string value that is in the toolbar Filter textbox.
