Trying to replicate BC2 "Rules"

[o00o]

Hi guys, I am looking for a solution to a problem with comparing specific types of XML files, SSIS (*.dtsx) files.

I've found previous advice on this but it is for BC2 and I can't see where the equivalent functionality is in BC4.

This is the article.

Any help appreciated! I have been looking around this for a while - still learning but not fast enough!

Hello,

Those are some solid Regular Expressions. BC2 menus have moved around a bit, but we have an article here:

You can create a new rule as a new File Format in the Tools menu -> File Formats dialog.

Once made, you can make new Grammar Elements that match the regular expressions in that blog post:
These elements should then be given names (even if it's a custom name like "unimportant ssis element").

The default session settings for the Text Compare has the checkbox to mark if this element is unimportant. Important items are checked, and Unimportant items are unchecked. Uncheck the custom element name, and save the new defaults for future Text Compare sessions (and rules-based scans from the Folder Compare).

Does this help get you up and running with a new File Format and defined grammar elements?
