Hello! I'm tinkering around with BC3 and attempting to automate the creation of very simple filename output files. Reviewing the help documentation, I don't see how to do this.
Desired scenario:
The key is I want the same output I would get if I selected all from right or left column in the UI, right-clicked, and selected "Copy File Name".
Examples:
Updated.txt would have something like:
New.txt would have something like:
Old.txt would have something like:
And so on...
Question:
Can someone show me a script sample of how to get this basic text output in an automated fashion?
Is it possible? I can't figure out the format.
If there's a thread on this, a link to that would be appreciated as well - I may have missed it!
Thanks much for your time! Love this tool, btw! I just need to learn how to automate it!
Desired scenario:
- Load the folders to compare - we'll call them Folder 1 and Folder 2 for this scenario.
- Do a binary diff check between the two folders, ignoring folder structures.
- Output the filenames from Folder 1 that have been changed into an Updated.txt file.
- Output the filenames from Folder 1 that are orphans into a New.txt file.
- Output the file names from Folder 2 that are orphans into a Old.txt file.
The key is I want the same output I would get if I selected all from right or left column in the UI, right-clicked, and selected "Copy File Name".
Examples:
Updated.txt would have something like:
C:\Folder1\SubFolder1\file.wav
C:\Folder1\SubFolder1\file.wav
C:\Folder1\SubFolder1\file.wav
New.txt would have something like:
C:\Folder1\SubFolder1\file.wav
C:\Folder1\SubFolder12\file.wav
C:\Folder1\SubFolder12\file.wav
Old.txt would have something like:
C:\Folder2\whyisthisevenhere.txt
C:\Folder2\SubFolder1\oldfile.wav
C:\Folder2\SubFolder1\oldfile.wav
And so on...
