View Full Version : setting equalities

Hi all,

Is it possible to compare 2 text files and set "abc" in one file to be equal to "DEFG" in the other?

TIA
Mike

There isn't a built in way to do this directly, but there are two things you can try that might work for this.

One way is to mark both abc and DEFG as unimportant in the rule.

Another way is to setup an external converter in the rule and write a script that will replace abc with DEFG or DEFG with abc before doing the comparison.

I will add this to our feature request wish list.

Marking as unimportant works but it's just OK. Thanks.

I already thought of your replace before compare idea but I was shying away from that...
