ignore-unimportant option for folder-report?

[MizuRyuu]

I am trying to generate a report that list only the mismatch and none of the unimportant mismatches. I know taht for the file-report, there is the ignore-unimportant option, which isn't avaliable with the folder-report. I am wondering if there is any way to emulate the same function with the avaliable folder-report options?

My code is below:

#compare the text contents of the files
criteria rules-based
load %1 %2
expand all
select diff.files
compare rules-based
folder-report layout:side-by-side &
options:display-mismatches-no-orphans,ignore-unimportant &
output-to:"C:\log\Regression Logs\%3_%date%folder.html" &
output-options:html-color

Re: ignore-unimportant option for folder-report?

Sorry, there isn't an "ignore-unimportant" option for folder-report. Interactively there is the View|Ignore Unimportant Differences command in the Folder Viewer. This is a global setting. It can't be set from within a script, but if you turn it on in an interactive folder comparison it will affect scripts.

I just tested this script and do not get the Incorrect Parameter error.

If you use echo %date% on the command line, does it correctly output the date? Which OS are you using? Perhaps it is having difficulties with the space in %date%: try putting quotes around "c:\mau\%date%-101ini.html" or using a different, simple name for testing purposes (c:\mau\test.html).

HI Aaron
But the problem is when the try to ignore the orphans and using the scrip

#load next comparison
load "C:\mau\link101\" "C:\mau\link102\"
#expand all
select all.files
file-report layout:side-by-side options:display-mismatches-no-orphans,ignore-unimportant output-to:C:\mau\%date%-101ini.html output-options:html-color

"display-mismatches-no-orphans" isn't a valid option for the "file-report" command.

"file-report" only supports the following filters: display-all, display-mismatches, display-context, or display-matches.

This script should work correctly:
#load next comparison
load "C:\mau\link101\" "C:\mau\link102\"
#expand all
select all.files
file-report layout:side-by-side options:display-mismatches,ignore-unimportant output-to:C:\mau\%date%-101ini.html output-options:html-color
