Command line option for creating snapshot?
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2005 3:20 pm
I'm working on a system that needs to know if a set of directories has changed since the last time a function was run, and I'd like to use EDP to generate an HTML diff report from within my code, and then use XML parsing tools to extract the data from it.
I could just do a copy of the current directory structure every time, and diff the two copies, but I'd rather take a snapshot and diff against that. (MUCH faster.) Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do that from the command line. Is there a way to trigger a snapshot, or do I have to do it from the GUI?
