Unable to create report error

[swathicl]

Hi,
I am trying to do a simple comparison of 2 files and generate a text report via the command line. The command I am using is
BCompare.exe "@MyScript.txt" "File1.txt" "File2.txt" "MyReport.txt"

And my script file has:
text-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all, line-numbers &
output-to:"%3" output-option:html-color "%1" "%2"

I get the following error:
01/10/2015 11:49:51 >> text-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all, line-numbers &
01/10/2015 11:49:51 >>
01/10/2015 11:49:51 Fatal Scripting Error: Unable to create report: Unable to load options:display-all,: Invalid URL:
01/10/2015 11:52:30 Script completed in 2 minutes, 39 seconds

Please help me understand where I am going wrong.

Thanks,
Swathi.

Hello Swathi,

your script has a little syntax error: It must be output-options:html-color instead of output-option:html-color

In the BC-helpfile you can find the scripting reference where all parameters are described ...

Bye

Hi Christoph,

I tried with the correct syntax too, but keep getting the same error. I just don't seem to understand what I'm missing here in terms of the script.

Thanks,
Swathi.

Also, remove the space between arguments: display-all,line-numbers

If you are still having trouble, could you post your script.txt file as an attachment? My hunch is that there is an invalid character or whitespace issue. Also, can I confirm you are running BC4.1.1?

Hi Aaron,
I deleted that extra space, removed the ampersand and let the entire code reside in one line in my script file and now it works.

Thanks for your suggestion.
