Numeric tolerance on a text compare
Hello,
I very much like the ability to define a numeric tolerance when comparing Excel files. It would be very helpful to have a similar capability when comparing text files, to ignore small numeric or date differences between files.
I would like to see new Date and Value grammar item categories. Selecting these would enable new "Date tolerance" and "Numeric tolerance" settings. "Text matching" would identify (left to right in case of multiple instances on a line) values from the left and right files. The interesting part is how one defines where and in what format the value or date occurs in the matching text. I'll leave that to you
You have a wonderful product. We use it every day and are very satisfied. Adding numeric tolerance would enable us to drop the use of sed script pre-processing before performing a comparison.
Thank you,
Brian.
