FILE-REPORT only showing left side

[BarrassD]

I'm trying to write a repetitive differences only file comparison script. It works OK on two small test files , but when the script repeats the same FILE-REPORT on the actual larger data files, all I get in the report is every line from the left-side file and the header just says "File...." instead of "Left file..../Right file....". Script enclosed below (the wrap-word was added in case the file size/line-length was too long).

log verbose \dbtemp\bclog.txt
option stop-on-error

file-report layout:side-by-side &
options:display-mismatches,line-numbers &
output-to:\dbtemp\BC_Rpt_1.txt \dbtemp\testA.txt \dbtemp\testB.txt &
output-options:wrap-word

file-report layout:side-by-side &
options:display-mismatches,line-numbers &
output-to:\dbtemp\BC_Rpt_2.txt \dbtemp\mc1.txt \dbtemp\mb1.txt &
output-options:wrap-word

file-report layout:side-by-side &
options:display-mismatches,line-numbers &
output-to:\dbtemp\BC_Rpt_3.html \dbtemp\mc1.txt \dbtemp\mb1.txt &
output-options:html-color,wrap-word

Re: FILE-REPORT only showing left side

How large are the files you have problems with?

Do you have problems with the report output to plain text and html, or only html?

Hi Chris.

The problem seemed to relate to the file content. When I compared the large files in the GUI it was OK and when I substituted with other files from the same set and ran the script it was fine. Then I re-copied the files from the original source to my test area and the script worked, so I can only guess that at some point in an edit the files had lost something and that upset the script but not the UI.

Anyway, I now have a script that does what I want. Thanks.
