How to exclude Minor differences from the Beyond Compare script report

[khodakova]

Hello!
I am using BC ver Version 4.0 (build 18847) I have script to compare two csv. files and generate report

file-report layout:side-by-side & options:display-mismatches & output-to:%3 %1 %2

by default I have set a session which uses % tolerance on one of the columns in both files:

1st file
20170804 2.985
20170804 3.96
20170804 14.987
20170804 10.8

2nd file:

20170807 3
20170807 4
20170807 15
20170807 13

For the second column numeric tolerance is set 0.5 relative (%). According to that first and third rows are highlighted in blue for me (as unimportant) if I compare them manually. Then 1. I press Minor button to treat them as equal and then 2. Diff button - and I am getting expected result - only 2nd and 4th rows.

Is it any possibility to do these steps (1 and 2) via script?

Thank you a lot in advance for any help!

Hello,

Scripting will use the default session settings, so you will need to configure the default Table Compare on the Home screen, in the saved Sessions list, expand the New folder and Edit Defaults for the Table Compare. Then loading your files into any new Table Compare should immediately show the unimportant rows as blue or black (depending on if Ignore Unimportant Differences/Minor is enabled).

To click the Minor button in scripting, add ignore-unimportant to your script. The diff button is covered by the options:display-mismatches:
data-report layout:side-by-side options:ignore-unimportant,display-mismatches output-to:"%3" "%1" "%2"

I have modified my script in the following way and now I have only differences (without minor differences) in the report as was expected

file-report layout:side-by-side &
options:ignore-unimportant,display-mismatches &
output-to:%3 %1 %2
