Rules based criteria

I am using the example provided in the help file and have added the rules-based criteria.

In the batch file that calls the script I have added the switch after bc2.exe /rules="MyRule". This works fine in the GUI but when I run the script it ignores MyRule. What am I doing wrong?

criteria rules-based
file-report layout:side-by-side &
options:display-mismatches &
output-to:%3 %1 %2

I am running version 2.4.1 (241).

Re: Rules based criteria

Try using this script:

file-report layout:side-by-side &
options:ignore-unimportant,display-mismatches &
output-to:%3 %1 %2

The criteria command isn't used by the file-report command. File-report always does a rules-based comparison.

Also, adding ignore-unimportant might be why you weren't getting the results you expected. Without this option, lines with only unimportant differences will be included in the report.

Re: Rules based criteria

Thanks. That worked perfectly.
