I want to produce a folder compare report using the Statistics option, the CSV output where each file is listed in a row and the number of lines added, deleted, changed, etc. are all listed (IAdded, IChanged, etc). The folders I'm comparing are a mixture of text files and binary files. When BC includes a binary file when you choose the report you want, it does not allow you to select the Statistics report. It seems like all those useful statistics are only calculated for text files.
If I was just comparing a couple folders individually, then I would sort the comparison results in the folder and only select the text files for the report, then I could choose the Folder Compare>Statistics option. But I have a lot of code repositories with many subdirectories and I can't do this individually for it all. Is there some filter I can make that will let me hide the binary files, so I can run the Statistics report easily? Maybe a regular expression with a hex range??
Alternatively, is there a way that I can get the statistics report option to include the binary files, but just leave the IAdded/IChanged data for those files blank?
Thanks for any help. This has bugged me for a couple projects now so I'd really like to solve it.
