Example Script File

[Guest]

Can someone post an example script that I can use to synch a directory on my local machine to a copy of that directory on a server? I need to have all subdirectories created a dn synched as well. Thanks.

Re: Example Script File

Here's a minimal script to sync two folders and all their subdirectories.

load c:\desktop \\server\share
sync update:lt->rt

If you want to make the two sides identical (deleting files that only exist on the target, copying older files from the source over newer files on the target)

load c:\desktop \\server\share
sync mirror:lt->rt

You can run them using the syntax:
bc2 @script.txt

Let us know if you have any problems.

I need to do this in an automated mode, how would you invoke beyond compare in batch and execute?
load c:\desktop \\server\share
sync mirror:lt->rt

Save the script as a text file, then use the following command-line:
"c:\program files\beyond compare 4\bcompare.exe" "@c:\script.txt"

The @ character makes Beyond Compare run a file as a script instead of opening it for interactive comparison.
