Getting Error as Unable to load base folder

[prasadjs86]

Hi,

I am using below code for text compare (compare.txt)
log verbose append:"logtest.txt"
load "%1"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and trying to execute by below command :

"C:\Software\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe" @C:\Test\Temp\Compare.txt C:\Test\Temp\File1.txt C:\Test\Temp\File2.txt

Getting Error stating "Unable to load base folder".
Please help me to get it resolved.

Regards,
Prasad

Scripting's Load command only supports loading a Folder Compare session or a pair of folder paths. It does not support loading directly to a file.

Which script commands are you trying to execute in your complete script file? For example, the text-report command can directly accept file names as parameters, so bcscript.txt is:
text-report layout:side-by-side output-to:"c:\reports\bcreport.txt" "%1" "%2"

I have used below commands in "compare.txt" file for file comparisons.

log verbose append:"logtest.txt"
text-report layout:side-by-side output-to:"C:\Test\Temp\bcreport.txt" %1 %2

I am getting below error :
1/23/2017 11:50:13 AM Fatal Scripting Error: Unknown command "text-report"

I am executing below command through command line :
C:\Users\User_name>"C:\Software\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe" @C:\Test\Temp\Compare.txt C:\Test\Temp\File1.txt C:\Test\Temp\File2.txt

Please help me to get this resolved.

Hello,

Which version of Beyond Compare are you running? You can verify in the Help menu -> About dialog.

All 3.x updates are free for 3.x users. You can download the latest 3.3.13 here, assuming you have an earlier BC3.

Hello,

The script looks solid and the text-report is a supported command in BC3 and BC4 (but not BC2).

Could you email us at [email protected] with the script as a text attachment? There may be a subtle syntax error that's throwing a more generic error message. Please include a link back to this forum thread for our reference in the email.

If you can, also include:
script.txt
file1.txt
file2.txt
BCSupport.zip from the Help menu -> Support; Export. To be sure you grab the right install, use the command line directly to launch BCompare.exe (just leave off the @script file1 file2 part), then use the Help menu -> Support dialog from here.
